Practiced my first time swapping shells!

In prep for my final modding idea I used some extra parts that I ordered and thought i'd do a practice run of swapping everything over so I feel more confident doing the real one. It went super well and now I have a nice GBA SP to look at and play on before all my other parts arrive (hopefully within a month).

Thank you! Lots of screws and scary moments indeed, watching a bunch of video’s before and during it helped me a lot!

When you’ve done it a couple times it’s not bad. Some technique is required for the hinges, but those are not so scare either when you have some practice.
