Re: My '98 GU 4.2 TD
Hood scoop is finally on and looking pretty decent if I don't say so myself 
Only one little issue, but it's my own fault
I didn't have the hood scoop made up before I started the turbo conversion, so I had to guess where the intercooler would sit.
Turns out the intercooler is 45mm too far forward and I designed the hood scoop to sit on the edge of the raised section on the bonnet.
So there's a small gap along the leading edge, but I'll put in a profile rubber to fill in the gap

Re: My '98 GU 4.2 TD
Thanks guys
It's really satisfying to do the work yourself and see the project take shape. It almost makes up for the long hours and headaches
Wait until you see what I've got planned for the bar work !
The front bar must go, because "chrome won't get you home".
I'm still playing with designs, but it's going to be something interesting.
Now I just need some finances and a pipe bender
