Winter Modifications

I took some photos today, so I thought I'd post some showing my winter bodywork mods.
The main change is the Aluminium scuttle. BIG THANKS TO TREV D FOR MAKING THIS FOR ME!!!
Trev is a top bloke who revisited it loads times to get it just how I wanted it, and I can't thank him enough. I helped a bit though.
I made a new dash out of Aluminium, to replace the MDF one previously fitted. It's exactly the same but lighter.
I fitted a Westfield exhaust system (needs a clean) in place of the Lolocost one and made and fitted a vent (needs polishing) in the old hole.
I made a new bonnet as I'm now running twin 40's, so didn't need a hole for the air filter any more.
I also made and fitted a curved slightly more raked aeroscreen.
I think it's made a big difference to the look of the car, much sleeker than before.
See what you think. There are some pictures of how the car looked before in my archive.

It's a hot 1660 x-flow on 40's. I'm getting used to the extra power now, but I did have an off 1st time out in the wet whilst on the
way to Stoneleigh. I left the road coming off a roundabout onto a slip road, but fortunately managed to catch it before I hit any lamposts. I ended up
with quite a lot of top soil in the engine bay though.
My whole build diary flashed before me.
