I've said it before, and I will say it again, the tunnel is the very least of your problems, but yes you will need one.

There is no 'guide' for this and only a very few people are in any way qualified to answer it as very few people have done it, certainly on these boards.

It sounds harsh, but if your asking the question then probably you shouldn't be thinking about doing it.

I will give you a head start though, the 'easiest' way is to use something that is already RWD, and has the engine and axles you want in your XR2 and use the floor & other parts.

Talking from experience, this conversion is costly and very time consuming.

Mate one sierra floorpan to your own shell and hope for the best or take £1500 to the likes of AG motorsport and have it converted to take cossie running gear!
