Hi WooDoo. Very interesting read. Im about to embark on a similar project. About your suspension, what drop did you go for on the rear? (2", 2.5", 3") Looks to have a nice stance. Also, any tips, things to look out for, possible pit falls you can give someone doing this?? would be very useful! :D Ben
