You can always put some plywood down with old carpet on top, at least you had a shed, try a 20x40 tarp in the middle of a state forrest....

Found one!! His own personal car is a County with a 4.6 HSE motor and an R380 disco box so he has done the switch before. Have decided to keep the disco shifter and he'll give it back to me without the trans tunnel in.

Transmission tunnel and centre console fabrication sounds like a more back friendly pursuit. I can also set it up with a bit more storage space, electrics etc while I am at it. Fibreglass and plywood, here I come (might even treat it to some carpet
