NCOP14 is a party pooper. I read so many success stories on this forum and then have to accept that NCOP14 would stop me replicating many of them myself.
So now i am doing my entire conversion without cutting or welding any part of the original vehicle. Everything will be bolted to existing mounting points. And the weight of each item i attach won't exceed the weight of the original factory item that was removed from that mount point. Makes everything much trickier.

EVmetro's build is amazing, definitely qualifies as conversion porn.
