I have a proactive approach to modifying my vehicles after years of land rover ownership. The best tools to work on them are an angle grinder and a pop rivet gun. Parts are not so much a destination as they are a good place to start and the miracle of interchangeability has not made it to the shores of the UK quite yet.

You get the part, hold it up, modify whatever offending other part that is keeping it from lining up or bolting in and then install it. Then the other parts get jealous and they fail because they want some lovin' too.

After years of this, it has carried over to my other vehicles. The only difference is the parts actually fit out of the box!
