now the hard bit you have to cut all the axle perches off make new ones and weld them on the hole job about 1 and a half days
if you want you can come and have a look
I am in Hastings

Gosh, that is interesting. It would be easy to convert the front hubs to 5x4.25" PCD with a couple of spacers.

Hastings would be a bit far for me (I'm at Costa del Corby, Northamptonshire), do you have any photos you could post?
