Wow! That's quite an achievement and really nicely finished. Certainly have a unique car there.

That's stunning! What are the holes in the bonnet for?

As part of the IVA test they wanted reservoirs higher, rather then lower them back down and re fibreglass I decides to leave them higher and will mesh over the hole with a plastic finer mesh hence tidying up the look more.

Any hole / vent on the car is functional, nothing is for show. Roof scoop feeds air into the engine bay and I also added a vent inside the scoop into the cabin.

Cheers guys. I'm itching to get back from Australia and fit the mesh, new exhaust, softer springs, 2nd mirror, geo alignment, door solenoids and then finally drive and tweak over spring / summer including making some door cards.

If you have a lot of spare time go for it. Its the time more than the money in the end it just eats up the hours! :D

The figure to do the conversion from DDR alone would rip a new hole in me never mind the rest of the customisation, prep etc and paintjob :eye:
Im juggling a few things just now so cant spend much anyway, at least 6-12 months before spending again :cry:
