Ok this next one I'm going to catch some flak for sure.. so let me explain myself haha
For the seating I wanted a few things:
1) enough leg room for me (I'm 6'5" and all legs)
2) comfortable power seats for front with heaters
3) comfortable, front facing, heated, removable seats in the back.
In order to get comfortable seats in the back that were easily removable I did something weird. Instead of finding a bench I put in a single captain chair from a 2005 Honda Odyssey. I'll get it re-upholstered to match my front seats and put in heaters. So I've got a 3 seater car... Very strange. Maybe I could've found a way to do a double back seat, but the mods are done, so there's no going back

I have thought about doing the same thing with mine... notching the rear fender well to get more leg room. I either have to be up high or cramped up some... this would solve that!

Yeah those few extra inches really help!
Hey if they are bolt in motor mounts you are fabing then Eastwood sells a pretty cheap powder coating kit (I think I paid like $200 for mine). Then get you a used electric oven for $50 bucks and you'll be golden.
Followed. It's a beautiful patina! I love the original paint!

Haha won't be like that for long
I'm gunna repaint the whole thing.
Clearcoat over it!! The patches of surface rust are so pretty!Haha won't be like that for long
I'm doing the same swap this weekend. Have to run the hydraulic parts place for a 34 inch braided hose to run down the axle and up to the hard line, but I don't think the job will take too long.
Still waiting on my Hydra-tech booster. Should get any day now. But finally got my air cleaner setup figured out and installed. Seems like everything hast to be custom fabricated.

Rear suspension is in and I found out I'm going to have an issue with my front drive shaft clearance and my oil pan.. I'm ordering an aluminum pan so i can section out the problem area. Major bummer but at least there's a solution. I should've mounted my engine closer to the driver side.
I couldn't find anything cheaper than the Torfab manifold for my AC compressor. That sucked too. $140. At least it's cheaper than Axis.
Anyway. Here are some update pictures.
