Well started work on the dash last weekend. Won't win a concours event but reasonably happy with the outcome so far. Also put the intercooler back in place last night and put the bonnet on and it closes with just under an inch to spare, so well impressed.

are you gonna put a scoop on the bonnet ?

how about cutting a slot across the front of the bonnet lip and making a duct back to the intercooler, attached to the inside of the bonnet - would that work?

Hey Matt,

You've done a real good job there - and its good to see it all coming together.

Look forward to seeing the car on the road and tearing up the tarmac.

Once again - congrats on a job very well done.

Andrew
