So started on bonnet, worked to 2am lol I think I could have just cut reo but we decided to be a bit wanky!!! Get some street cred from the hectic door banner crowd! I think it's ok, can always get another bonnet and just cut the reo, but plenum so close I worry it will hit bonnet under load
My mate never really done it before so just winged it.
Started with a rectangular hole

The rectangular hole didn't suit as to square for curves of car do decided small throt cut out and curved edges would do the trick

Used fine line tape to shape curves and belt sander to achieve curves

I understand not everyone will like it but wanted to try something different! Will have removable GRP. A scoop. As obviously a defect would only be a matter of time!

All accessories hooked up
Oil preassure gauge all wired up, sandwich plate with sensor in it just fits under alternator!
Re wired and new plug for the tps sensor
Used vl charcoal canister as smaller than vs and relocated to right side next to air box as does not fit on left because of thermo fans and batteri.
Tony Wired up new fuel pump and is pissed off as it looks neater and better than his attempt in the clubby!!!
Hooked up all new heater hoses and vac lines

Yup all done mate screwed fuel tank back in, put interior back together as wired up oil gauge. Actually came out neat, no spaghetti wiring in this ute, all wiring for old alarm and gas system all ripped out! Plus any new plugs in bay tony has made look factory or better than!
Neatend wiring and hoses in bay! To the point it actually looks neat as furk with minimal effort! Even hooked up my vl charcoal canister as smaller than vs one. Looks good! Just setting up temporary air intake and catch can tonight then tune tomoz :)
