You normally cut the "Side wings" off the radiator/front panel Theres loads of room then ;D If you have a look in the DTV sportpart manual it shows you how to do it really neatly so you keep the ears and just fit them further forwards and further out The Swages in the panel even line up as well Cracking on with it though which is always nice to see Cheers Dom

Looks cracking and I like the way things are going with it. What do you plan for fuelling/induction side of things?

yep shes the cheap model. definately lol only one wing mirror and one sun visor, no headrests no radio, no chrome. but thats the way I like it anyways sorry I don't have a heated rear screen that might be a additional mod after its finished. I had another hour sanding tonight and took another bit of hand painting off... the old dear that had it from new had taken it upon herslf to paint with a brush over anything looking like rust and in a way it was a good thing but its also a b#@#stard to sand down its so thick and has runs in it. did I mention one lady owner from new only 18k miles before I sold the engine for £75 it ran sweet as a nut and quite as a home computer. the gbox also went but I have an axle, shocks, seats, rad, front brakes, steering wheel, and probly more still to get rid off if anybody needs anything pm me iv probably forgotten something just ask if ur wanting something. Although I'm not gonna get her done in a week I'm still happy cos its nearly painted. cheers guys ur spuring me on
