If I was going to do it I would be pulling everything out so I can do it proper and looking at all the rust I don't feel it's worth continuing with this shell. It is also rotted in the interior as you saw from my seat coming loose and I no longer think it's worth my time.

I have two options I am currently looking at. I have a shell and then I have a shell with block and some stuff in it. I am going to weigh the cost of building the block myself and look what's needed and decide which approach to take. And yes both are 1ga
Appreciate the help, will definitely call on you guys for help and parts when I need it!
