Looks good!

Does the iron mask bonnet effect cooling since it covers the upper half of the radiator?

Are you keeping the old bonnet?

Did you paint the bonnet black or is that how it was when you got it?

Just asking because I think it looks great as it is

[D-limo]

Firstly, that is an amazing transformation

Any plans to get a 1/4 mile time in current state of tune? Do you know what needs to be modified to fit the larger pistons as I've read its quite alot of work..?

the bonnet was white i sprayed it matt black for 2 reasons firstly cause white would have really looked wrong and you cant spray can red as it looks gastly all different colours and shades come out..

my intention is to panel and paint the car once i have it right ie all parts fitted and working how i want...

for the cooling side of things iv not noticed much (it is winter) but my guess would be it may actually improve the cooling as its now how the factory designed the front end..

the bonnet well in not sure guess id sell it but dont anticipate much interest in it to be fair

as for 1/4 mile times and the engine work.. im not sure sorry, the engine was all complete when i got it.. as its not making huge power currently the only benifit iv seen from this work is the extra torque this car makes, its savage from very early on right through to 8000rpm but you really can tell she has lots more to give.

here is a pic i used on JNC i really like this one

here is a before and after shot
