Done right it will increase the value but massively reduce the amount of people who would want to buy it.

I wouldn't call it two easy steps either

A PV544 is high up on my want list but it would have to look ratty and I would have to fit a B230FK and M90 gearbox... I wonder how hard it would be to fit a 940 axle too 🤔

Wonderful :-)

PS. We’re you thinking of a ‘hot rod sled’ like this:
