Thanks for the advice st.nick and I agree with it. I just want to do it right but I don't have a lot of $$$$ to spend on this project now, so that is why I need to do as much research before I go spending.
I am in Jamaica in the caribbean so getting the parts will be a challenge but I guess that I should be able to find some of it in the states.
The suspension is a concer for me as I would like to use stronger parts on it e.g ball joints and strut mounts. I would love to hear that a ball joint off a hilux pickup could work on my car because of my perception that this would last longer and it is a standard part that I could get here easy.
