The propshaft will need lengthening and a different gearbox mounting plate is required. This was not unexpected.

Here is an overall shot with tunnel removed. It's tempting to make the tunnel removable for servicing the finished car but I'm worried there might be too much flex in the body?

I've got a few more things to check (like the dashboard!) but I think it's going to fit!
