recently i took the wee risk of sending some of my cash off to a complete stranger.
comunication was good tho, so i took the chance.

turn around was'nt too bad either. i posted off some postal orders at the start of the month and yesterday it arived

cheers barneybrendan i'd recomend you.
look at it as some "positive feedback"

heres a few pics for anyone else who may be interested

obviousley it needs a bit of modifing to make it fit the curve on the scoob bonnet, and i'l need to shorten it a bit.

cheers again
George

I would go with the stock/sleeper look personally - and let the kids use that next time it snows..

3500 and SU manifold only just fits under the bonnet. anything else is going to sit higher. hence the need for the cowling. remember this car was designed to accomidate a tiny boxer 4

i'm more and more swung towards EFI anyway, but it should still need the extra space from the cowling.

its a track toy / show car so the look, that the bulge will give should add to its apearence.

Cor that looks alright

I might have to resort to something like that for mine, unfortunately. Whilst everything clears the bonnet I get massive heat soak problems underneath - you can't touch the plenum after 30 minutes running

Thanks for taking the time to put those up scoobyv8

i see that,
lots of the paper stuff spent on that tho. mines is a low budget project, so standard EFI has to take the lead over expensive holley, and ofenhauser bits forgive my spelling due to my lack of money i dont even look at those bits so i dont know how to spell them lol

George

one day it will run n

and i'l be happy

Thats a great scoop George, almost identical to the one I got for the Datsun and the one Tony subconciously wants for his Capri

its 20 inches at top, but flares out a bit and is 24 inches at the base on the inside

dont ask how long it is, i hacked a chunk off as its too big! must have been designed for a real car

sizes aprox

pm the guy if your intrested, i was happy with my purchase.

George

ohh i managed to trim the cowling, centre it and screw it to the bonnet and since then ive had no time for it as the wifes been in and out of hospital. i look at it every day when i come home from work. lol

i'l get the piccys updated when i get more done.
