Hi All
Just something to think of b4 you start regarding the electrics.
I built a SWB Series body onto a shortened RRC chassis and unlike most of these builds, I removed the wiring carefully from the RRC, also the instruments and steering column, then re-used them on the new build. The result is that my "coiler series" have most of the electrical features that the RRC had such as reverse lights, emergency flashers, multiple stage wipers, interior lights that switch off 20 secs after you close the doors, amazing dual stage power assisted brakes, cute small steering wheel, etc.
Can do pics if you're interested.
If I have to do it again, which I would like to, then the only differences would be to keep the chassis 100" (rear fuel tank setup was a real pain) and maybe widen the bodywork by 150mm.
Good luck with your build.
