no not really, weld your boot floor to your boot hinge pannel from inside the boot, then get the grinder out, then butt weld the rear valance.

I think you should matt, go to your local plumbers merchant and pickup what ever's shinney, just place the new pipes randomly around your engine bay, just watch people copy!!

Got some more photo's of mine, I've got the front end fitted, got a dummy engine in, and got my tiny intercooler fitted. Got the carbon boot floor in, carbon dash and parcel shelf, and welded on new hinge panel. Endaf's still making my gear change tower, but it's comming.

The boot floor in, and holes for the antiroll bar cut in boot floor. New hinge panel welded on

Front end fitted, dummy engine in place, so I could check for intercooler fitment, it's not quite a porche interooler, but it does the job

Also got the rear parcel shelf in

Also got the gear changed tower, tacked in place,

cheer mate, but I can't take all the credit, I've had a huge amount of help long the way from Endaf owens who has helped me prep the shell and dave coxon (turbo dave) helped me put together an awsome engine, and thanks to Mark and Jon for lots of help and abuse over the last few years!
