S5 car into S4 shell

I got the shell from Amur today, and am just wondering are there any problems I am going to run into (only one I know of is the tail lights)? The S4 is completely just the shell, and the S5 is a full car.

Anyone have any tips on what I should start with? Or any tips in general, I'm sure there are some of you our there that have done this.


Thanks

Carthik

Engine wiring is different,I believe.If you plan on puttin the s5 engine into the S4 Shell,and use the S4 Wiring and Ecu,Then you have to make the ECU think it has an S4 engine in it.so that would involve changin Components on the s5 engine and using S4 Components on the S5 Keg...(from what I have been told)..I know there is more,so I'll shut-up ..(hehheh!)

Ummm... if you read what he said, the S4 is JUST THE SHELL.

And I'd say that assembly into the S4 is the reverse of the dissassembly of the full S5.

Correct me if im wrong, but I dont htink that would apply. I'm not just doing an engine swap, I have a fully stripped S4 shell.
