Some progress (mostly in my head)

Been in the garage for a while to figure out exactly what i am going to do with the front end.

Unfortunately, it is too heavy to have a big one piece bonnet as i was planning so i am going to have static wings and have just the centre part hinge at the front.

If you squint hard enough and use a bit of imagination, you can kind of see what it will look like Rescued attachment SA501117.JPG

That could look very nice

yep i see where you're going with it

it would be a bit too heavy for a 1 piece front i think. unless it was fibreglass... would also be very wobbly i think. best stick with just the bonnet hinged

If you're going for such a big bonnet, why not fit a bigger rad?

Now you're just being picky. It's only a tiny bit out

No need. She has no problems cooling while stationary at 3k idle so should have no probs at all when on the move! It will however be a post IVA mod.

Tegwin - I would love a front end like yours
