Great job, very neat. love the clean engine bay. Where did you hide the brake booster?. How about a bit of a rundown on the running gear etc. Love the way you kept the interior basically stock. The finished product is a credit to you, well done. Cheers, Jack

You said you used 2 short axles in the diff so this would make it offset if only by a little - correct me if i'm wrong ? I have a VN diff up on stands at the moment and working out the best way to shorten it . |
