I Think its a bit pricy ,doesn't look like theres any doors and no engineers report on the mods also the chrome on the Jag rear is illegal (Chroming causes hydrogen embrittlement to the suspension components causing cracking/structural failure ) so as is i think $1000 -$1200 would be fair     Cheers Merlin

This would be a BIG time and money project for someone to take on, might be better selling the rear end separate, and like Merlin says, with no engineers report it could be a major money pit, but you never know, there might be someone out there with the resources to take it on, I hope they do, it would be good to see it on the road, as far as price goes, same as what Merlin thinks, $1000, and for me that would really be just for the rear set up, the rest I would re-sell

Your rules are different there (and often tougher) but when I did my mid mount the engineer wanted at minimum a subframe for the engine and trans, plates along the rails weren't enough.
Also all bolt on bits like the diff mounts etc need squash tubes.

If you guys require this as well and it hasn't been done you'd be basically starting again

 I don't think we are being harsh, the person who is even considering this build needs to be aware of the possible time and expense that they could be up for, if they don't it could be a very expensive front end

.... or another "CF van for restoration....as is". A wise man once said, if you want a hot rod/street car, you are better off building it yourself from scratch. Then you know what you have AND don't end up with a clapped out POS that someone else has built, thrashed and thrown away! And it wasn't me or my old man!  ;)
