You need to remove the passenger seat to get things rolling. You can start here:

There's lots of discussions in this forum---use the "search". Here's a couple to get you started:

stuck in an alternator swap

If you're going to do much work on your Box, you should consider getting a shop manual!

Wow. That car is seriously not to my taste. I appreciate the work you did on it and its certainly a distinctive look. I am not a fan of fake carbon fiber on the wheel spokes or the headlight treatment. But as long as you like it that's all that counts.

you would typically find cars like that in the middle east. I think the general consensus there is the more you add to the car the better. "less is more" is a lost concept

i appreciate that the work is done cleanly. No half assing it.

While some of the mods aren't to my taste, if you're happy that's all that matters. It's your car.
