Legend! I can't believe how well the link kit fits, in an escort they look horrible. Thanks DAF for that odd floorpan shape.

You certainly did, but I didn't think it'd fit so neatly with room to spare. Will there be more bracing to the floor?

Make sure you take plenty of detail pics so we can work out how its done. In fact you could probably make some money on the side doing the conversion for folk.

Awesome Joni, love the tunnel work. How much did you say the 'spit-roast' jig costs? It'd make doing my sills a bit easier.
