am going to put a 4agze in it ,as for the old frame lets just say its dead to us now, got cut up and scraped also have decided to get rid of the reverse lights and going to put in l.e.ds in here are the lights i am thinking of putting in

yeah sorry for the long delay but it has been out of my hands only just got it back from the panel shop the role pan looks good but thats the reason for all the delay i did not have to worry about the spare tyre bracket as i am going to move the spare into the back behind the front seats and probly put a drop tank on it also will try put more pics on more regular as i have the motor ordered and it will be ready for me in about 5 weeks
