Before you do much more on the build sort out the Crush tubes in the front and back wish bones. It makes the drive a lot better.

Some people think its only a luego issue but I have spotted the same problem on several other makes.

The crush tubes should be fractionally longer than the rubber/plastic.polly bushes. Quiet offten they are not and the suspension does not function as it should.

On mine I placed a washer the same size as the crush tube in so that the extra washers compress against the small washer and crush tube, leaving the bush free to turn on the crush tube as it should. The CRUS tube should be held tight( crushed) between the wishbone brackets and the bush rotate on it.

Some people have shaved a little off the end of the bushes to solve the problem.

do a search.

Rear lights could well be an issue with distance from cars max width.

had to place mine on the rear wheel arch as it was too close to call on the rear tub.( but not impossible!)
