Does anyone no how you set up a hood like that? the bonnet pins and then is it just a lift off or is there forward flipping hinges? any help would be greatly appreciated. My initial plan was to put pins up at the top of the hood and make it hinge forward then have quick release hinges so i could lift it off.

I think it's just pinned. I've seen a few that are just pinned. Gives it an agressive look. Just put one of the nuts ont he top then a washer so the pins sit higher.

I think you can buy pins for the raised look in minisport. If not, then I 've seen them somwhere in one of the normal places.

That car must be one of the prototype front wheel drive bike engine conversions.
Now that'll be a 5 seat V-tec beater!

Isn't that car the Twin Engined version that's for sale at the moment ?
If so the bonnet mods are probably for letting out the heat from the radiator at the front. I maybe wrong though.
