Metal all the way!!

well, it seems i dint listen and went with the stupid option... lol









its not gonna be a flip front of any kind, its going to be a fixed front, im not sure if anyone has attemted this, but im going to anyway.....

i couldnt afford doors, but they are on the list

now comes the question of, do i keep my bonnet straps or go for pins? i was thinking of having the bonnet slightly up at the back like turbo minis have, so that when my twin carbs go on it helps with the air flow, i was also thinking of an ERA style scoop... if i had this and the bonnet open would it look silly?? or is it one or the other?

i was also once again considering going for archlessness....

and also i was thinking of painting on my numberplate higher up on the bonnet this time so i could have a badge that goes with my rear one... whichever one that is???

also, do i keep my spots and fogs??

its thinking time...

No need for it to be up at the back unless you like having it rain in your engine bay Twins will be fine under a closed bonnet just like everything else. but don't let that stop you, it's more of a look thing in my opinion.

front end quality looks to be pretty nice, bonnet fits well too! nice one mate... nice not to have rust too

Where is that front from?

[tedmcedd]

ABS motorsport i got it from, does loads of stuff, really good quality, nice and thick, and leaves extra bits all the way round so it can be trimmed back to fit perfectly. also incorporates the triangular parts for bonnet pins.
