Can you post on you tube or something? Not everyone has/wants Facebook.

I'm not on FB either, but if you click on the link you can still watch the video. Well, on my laptop at least.

Nice work BrookST, looks like new!

Are you leaving it badge-less on the front bonnet? I think they look better with a 'nose' IMO of course.

It looks like a really good job , not trying to be critical , is it not worth boxing in the air filter and adding a cold feed as it will run a lot better , rather than be sucking in hot air from the headers , i have done that on a few of my cars , hot weather was a noticeable improvement and cold days was even better

You are very right, it’s just taking in hot air, will get a surround made with a feed, just happy to get it back with a lot of nasty bits fixed 👍 cheers for the feedback

Big shout out to Murray McIntosh for sourcing and sending me the rad cap cover, complete with a new replacement label, had been searching for this part for ages. This was very much appreciated and has been a tremendous help on finishing off my car 👍 🍻
