A lot of love going into this, looks gorgeous.

Did you ever have any problems with overheating under the glass? I've been working on a 2 where we just replaced the vents on the engine lid with glass and grafted some vents between the 2. Works pretty well.

[Vampire]

Pretty much everything painted and cleaned and a few led's lighting it all up.

[craig]

Cracking job dude
How do you get on with heat dissipation from the engine?

[Vampire]

well the side vents helped massively! but on long drives ill leave the boot lid on the latch unclosed.

still want to sort this rising lid really but on other mods/projects at the moment!

[Vampire]

After a few days playing iv managed to my custom twin lights fitted, working, just need to set the beam directions up
for anyone interested i have made another set of these so have a set forsale! PM me

[Lee8ballauto]

i LOVE rogue headlights very nice lookign 2 did you use actual glass or lexan for the engine cover?

[Vampire]

heat proof glass!

and there not rogue lights, there my own creation! can make them for people cheaper

[Lee8ballauto]

ah very nice... price? id def be interested

[Vampire]

Next mod to be nearly complete is my custom gear surround, may get a few of these made up if anyones interested.

Fantastic effort mate, car looks awesome.

[CJ]

Wow - what a great thread and a fantastic looking car. Love the interior and engine bay pics.

[craig]

Looks great

[scotty1982]

Lovely car mate. The attention to deatail is 2nd to none. Would love to see this in the flesh and get my creation parked next to yours!

[Vampire]

Re smoothed the dash panel and have moved the heater contorls into the glove box as they didnt fit in with my theme and actually look 20 years old lol



also got a better pic of the low rise twin headlights fitted now the car is back on the road after its winter break, still have a sparre set i made for sale £150 :th:

[CJ]

Wow! That looks ace. I will be sending you some PM's in a few weeks regarding the lights as i think they look superb.

[DAN_REV1_TURBO]

Looks brilliant mate, dont think I would personally go for all the white as I would end up with thumb prints allover it being a messy git! What about the ait vents from the centre have you relocated them somewhere or they just gone completely?

[Lee8ballauto]

The low rise lights are so epic looking! I can't wait for mine to arrive
I'm sure relocating the controls was awkward enough?

[Vampire]

Thanks guys. Rear lights are on the modding list next the standard rev 3 lights are very good lookin even 20 years later though, so tough coming up with something better???

and used a spare interior harness and heater controls (benefits of havimg so many spares!) to move the heater controls into the glove box, didnt take to long.
