Well I'm working that day till 4pm BUT I have the week off beforehand, so may be able to get it sorted then, then. Gonna scour some scrappies for a coupe bonnet and take a look at plastic vent thingies. The louvres on the SQ look pretty good, but i'd have em over the exhaust rather than the airbox/cone filter (which I have to get round to fitting once I get some sheet metal to cut up for shielding).

you know it Lee!!, I wonder why you never see SQ's being used as daily runners??

David,

Thats a nice looking Minor, did it take a lot of work to get it like that?

Kevlar composite, right? Hence the price!

Lee,

One of our Spanish or Portugese mamber went into an Audi dealer and a customer had placed an order for a onnet and front wings for a Short quattro, the bill was monumental in excess of 8,000 euros! IIRC.

RobW, I'm not bad but I know people who are amazing.

I haven't the foggiest, If I had one to look at then I could make a guess. There was one in the local VW audi dealer but they sold it

I feel the 'family' link of the SQ grille would be nice, The ducting would have to be carefully thought out or you could get a turbo full of rain water if it was wrong!

I'll have a think and see what I come up with.

I will think about an event to suit the locality as well.

Brewery trip?

I use paint shop pro. Open the picture, press shift+s, type in the percentage you want to shrink by and bob's your aunties live in lover.

If using paint (comes with windows) just open the picture in it, select 'image', 'attributes', then knock 60% off each of the measurements listed in there (ok, roughly, for a 166kb picture to shrink to 100kb) and save as. Then see if it fits!?!?! Worth a try?

I haven't got Paint shop Pro, if I shrink the size i miss part of the picture out!

I have mailed it to RobW.

Time for bed, got to play with 80 square metres of Tongue and groove and my air nail gun. deep joy, I'm underwhelmed..... Tongue and groove ceiling in a garage what next.
