hello all i had a phone call today of the misses to say my floors here so i am well chuffed today  :D  got it in place and bolted to the front subframe it went in ok but was a nightmare lining the holes up on the front subframe. but is all bolted up and fitts lovelly. it all looks good but i could be inches out from it looking crabbing so i am going to go to my other shell i have and get lots of measurments unless anyone noes of a measurment guid i can use? really now i could do with the rear boot floor in and a rear subframe in position so i can look to see if its nice and straight. here is some pictures i have also got the bulkhead air hole cut out as it was on my mind for ages. all comments welcome and advise what to do or not do then just say thanks tom

Fair play to you mate! I read through all this one night last week and a lot of people would have given up by now!

Cracking inspirational work mate!
