Looks good. I hate to push my luck but how bout a side on shot?

that filled the hole looks ok too

Here r some more shots of the scoop




As u can see I didn't like the look of the fins on top off the scoop so I got rid of them
The plain is to mould it into the bonnet and paint orange just living a polished alloy lip at the front
Wont happen for a while yet as I will be cleaning up a few bits round body and paint at the same time
So I am pleased with the way it has turned out so far it only sits 30mm above the bonnet at the front and slopes down at the rear
I also left the bottom of the scoop on at the front as I am thinking about plumbing some cold air in as well

Couple of pics of the new 650 double pumper

well seams like no one wants to make custom bonnet hinges, so I went and bought one of those hot rod seven double diafram boosters and i am in the middle of modifying the brake peddle and drilling and die grinding and making spacers.
Oh the fun of it all
Have been taking plenty of pics and will post more when finished.
As the previous owner said ITS TIME TO GET RID OF THIS SHIT

Will make a big difference mate in the bay

i didnt get to the swap meet broke the indicator mech inside the
steering colomn in the ek and dont have a spare plenty of ek ones
no HR ones thats what happens when you give stuff away you might need one day i guess
hope you picked up some bargains

I mounted my booster on the firewall and modified the hinge to go around it - I cut the back bit off that runs to the firewall and turned it 90 degrees so it bolted to the inner guard just in front of the booster.
