That's not horrible at all! When doing such a mod, how would the drivetrain portion be made to fit properly?

I'd like to see some interior shot of these. Always wanted to do this, but not sure about head room in the back, or even just room for the rear seat.

Hell yeah! Are you going to completely seal the back from the front?

its gonna be removable so in summer i can leave open and throw my bike in the back if i want. also possibly gettin a soft top from a isuzu amigo if its close i'll use it. I also finished researchin a v8 swap. gonna use the dakota/grand cherokee 5.2-NV3550-NP231 setup. and when i get un-lazy i'll put my wago axle under it instead of the d30 and d35. now to get all teh money together.
