A lot of love going into this, looks gorgeous.

Did you ever have any problems with overheating under the glass? I've been working on a 2 where we just replaced the vents on the engine lid with glass and grafted some vents between the 2. Works pretty well.

still want to sort this rising lid really but on other mods/projects at the moment!

Looks brilliant mate, dont think I would personally go for all the white as I would end up with thumb prints allover it being a messy git! What about the ait vents from the centre have you relocated them somewhere or they just gone completely?

The low rise lights are so epic looking! I can't wait for mine to arrive :)
I'm sure relocating the controls was awkward enough?

Thanks guys. Rear lights are on the modding list next :shock: the standard rev 3 lights are very good lookin even 20 years later though, so tough coming up with something better???

and used a spare interior harness and heater controls (benefits of havimg so many spares!) to move the heater controls into the glove box, didnt take to long.
