update on the build:
finally got new front tires: Falken...something. didnt bother to remember.
full bushing set from energy suspension, to be fitted, hardrace droplinks, some heat resistant hose covers, and aerocatch fasteners for the hood i'm bulding:
here we go:
i traced the vent on my hood, and started cutting
removed the skin then cut the ribs a bit bigger so the vent will be fitted from beneath
scrap!
necessary adjustments and measurements
i used a polyurethane glue called black mamba (ironically, i later found out it comes in white too...white mamba? ) which has spectacular strength
splot
i didnt get many photos after that cause my hands were a mess!
from underneath...
in the end we drilled and screwed a number of screws around the vent, to keep it properly seated until the glue does it's work. then the screws will be cut and sanded , and the whole thing will be puttied over. after the hood has been properly prepared, it will be molded in fiberglass, and the original sold cheaply...
to be continued... coilovers, bushes, fiberglassing, dash out, repairs, horror, agony!
