I reckon I have most of the stuff for my build which is mainly left overs from other things i have built. Cant escape the 2k needed for chassis and body and another 2k in bits and bobs.Still bloody good value if it all comes in at under 6k.

Ok, so the Haynes is a wee bit wider...

What about the back panel, is it the same??
