Chris - gotta ask your secret in shrinking the Vortex bonnet vent - 3 minutes on high in the microwave?

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 6:13 am**

somewhat. from memory the L series body line on that hood is 58" wide the XT is 63-64" wide. on both cars that had that insert done it was a case of reskinning the L series frame with the XT piece, welding,filling, painting and job done. $1200 or so for a local shop to do it.

Hmm, will google it next time i've got my hands on it.

I got the condenser fitted last weekend, getting the AC system gassed tomorrow.. Hopefully it holds pressure!

Sorry for being slack but don't have time to go through 20 pages of this thread, but do you have any under bonnet pics?

Nice. Love the way Chris has used the stock fuse box. The only things that are out of place are: 1) the two bits that hold the radiator in - still subtle though and 2) the pole that holds up the bonnet is in the old radiator bolt hole, if it doesn't fit properly in here theres' another hole your left when looking at the engine. The rubber grommet should fit in that hole properly

Even though it's not all bling'd up, it still looks awesome in there!

Cheers

Since you gassed the AC plug the compressor back in . I left it unplugged deliberately.

Stock fuse box takes all of the fusible links out and replaces them with fuses.

The only reason for the two steel straps was the fact there is an OVERSIZED radiator in it.

What did you do with the fans?

forgive me for continued drooling - the underbonnet looks so bloody tidy - ABS and all - dunno why Chris never shared it with us, post thread just trailed off.......

that was always a mess when I had it. its a lot cleaner now.

there is a 10mm bolt missing in the passneger strut tower that holds the fue panel down.

There's a circulation issue, so i've left it unplugged until i replace the receiver drier and/or TX valve.

They're all still there.

Ummm... But he did! There was a massive thread on this build - including the nutting out of the ABS system!
