Looks the goods there mate. I'll have to make the trip down to Liverpool so we can have a chat about it! Did you use a small cutoff wheel in a air grinder, a dremel, a jigsaw or a nibbler? I've been doing a bit of research on this one for the wagon.

Did I miss the bit where you said how you were going to tidy the bonnet up to match the high quality of the rest of the front of the car? Is it going to have heaps of bog applied, fibreglass or wot? Looking good in general though - I do believe I can imagine it driving along behind me and do believe BenJ would be speaking the truth.

Hey dude --- I was going to put my smiley face looking row of buttons in that air vent spot too... Ages ago I looked at that option, missus talked me out of it... Ho hum.

I gave up smoking soon after throwing away my radio surround and ash tray / ciggy lighter.

TRY IT 8-)

Nice work on the bulge Dave, I miss my BA bulge :( Another thing, does the motor feel healthier with the GRA throttle body and four barrel inlet manifold compared with a HO setup on petrol?
