good on ya. finished the hood yet?

Not yet, been busy with other things

I just had a spare hour last night so I cut away the underneath of the bonnet, I left the bulk section at the front for strength but also I cut it on either side, bent it back and bonded it to the skin, it now allows the vents to work properly, I will tidy it all up once I get a chance as it is very rough atm...

Got a few phone pic's off the man himself, Mr. Stone, very happy with the cage and parcel shelf removal, next up pedal box and hydro

Cheers mate, cheap and cheerful to tune...

Haven't done a whole pile recently, been busy with other shite, was bored one of the nights so I had an AE86 TRD spoiler lying around so went at it with an angle grinder, I reckon a bit of shaping and it should look mint

[Kruizer]

So got the finger out and finished off the vents, one or two bits to pick in but happy enough with how it turned out, must reinforce the frame underneath next, the pressed rotary shape has added strength to the skin and with the fibreglass vents flex should be minimal...

How are you planning to brace the hood? I think you could bead roll a shape the same size of the hood, avoiding the vents, that would give it enough strenght not to bent @ high speed.

Great work!

Looking good mate. I may have skipped the post, but did you figure out your color scheme? Also how are you mounting the SR?

The hood is already very strong thanks mainly to the pressed shape, I will fibreglass the edge of the frame back to the skin and offer support there...

Great work!

Thanks mate...

Cheers mate, vents are way bigger than on the Mazda version...
