thats how I feel about mine, the only way I was ever going to get rid of it was If I could find a better shell to start with, but for the money I decided I may as well repair the one I have. I am too just starting the same conversion

haha thats exactly what i was thinking one day maybe buy a UC rolling shell and make it A1 then transfer everything over!

anyways does anyone know a good place to get my engine covers and rocker covers on the 8 chromed in adelaide? and a ruff idea as to how much it would cost? cheers

thanks man yes we are allways wait for something!

anyways i found this pic of my boot install may be an idea for some as it allows you to keep your spare tyre and easily access it whilst even having ample boot space. Did it myself
