And what dose it entail?
oh bummer hit the wrong button! Anyway to continue,
1 remove side brackets off 100" chassis
2 cut and shut to 88"
3 remove rear chassis legs behind rear box crossmember
4 weld on 2 outriggers for mounting series bulkhead ( measurement same as 90" bumper mtg to front bulkhead mtg point)
5 fit bulkhead and floors and seat base to determine positioning of rear mtg's
6 once body mounts are sorted time to move onto column mtg etc
All in all very labour intensive.

cuttin a chunk out of the middle of the chassis and sticking it back together
changing (possibly fabbing new) out riggers to make it the same width as the lighty body
grafting the body on using home made plates and ties
other things include:
prop shafts
brakes (making the peddle box fit the bulk head)
wiring loom
trans tunnel
probably altering bulkhead
fuel source
one of my mates done a s3 on a rangey chassis and it took him almost every weekend for over 2 years

Right I'm about to have a nervous brake down with this hybrid malarkey, so I've decided to drag the old 2.25 petrol that Ive had in the shed for too long and stick it in, I'm reckoning about half a shift to stick it in.
what i want to know is, do you guy's think that it would be more desirable with the 2.25 in and would it be worth more?
And i have a buyer for the V8, a guy i know wants to put in to a viva, hmmm?
