    Yeah, rougue did one, and i have found a pic of another (from greece i think). There are most likely others too but there is very little information out there on the swap. That is hopefully going to change :thumbsup:

    Nice one Gary, I am becoming slightly concerned that with all the fantastic builds that are likely to be ready for next years shows...no one will have a tent, food or booze at Japshow and JAE. Just really quick cars and a toothbrush. :whistle:

    PS. thanks for putting the 'F' back in Freedom.
    We'll have the van, which will take booze!

    Then you have a 'cunning plan' as I don't believe for one minute that after your cars are completed you or Gary will arrive at a TB event in the van.

    Nolite id cogere, cape malleum majorem.

    I'm cheering you on with this one Gary, good on you for going for it.:thumbsup: I'm glad someone finally has brought this one out into view, where we can get a good look at it.
    Handling wise, you'll be fine, a bit different to stock, yes, but still manageable and you'll get used to it. I have similar weight , probably and that's fine.
