A couple of little changes including a set of functional bonnet vents.
 
Some GT style bonnet pins.

 
And the front looks a whole lot better now!

 

 
And the car is off to have its new driveline installed. It should look a little different in a couple of months time.

When I first got the car the drivers door was a little damaged so spent the weekend fixing that before it's off the road undergoing it's driveline mods.

 
It was actually worse than this when I first got the car, but a little panel beating made it more presentable. This time it was back to bare metal and beaten a little more to get most of if straight. A small skim of filler and its ready for primer.



 
On with the Monza Red and the colour match is again surprisingly good. I'll let it cure for a couple of weeks before it gets buffed and looking like new again.

Excellent work, looks good!
 
I'm curious to know if you are going to try & keep the NSW rego with a full cage?

That's why I went with a bolt in cage. I can take the front out and as there's no back seat can leave the back in when on the street.
 
I stay away from all the usual hang outs so as not to get hassled. Had a highway patrol car behind me recently and he didn't bat an eyelid at the car! Lucky maybe!

I've got the same cage for my MK2.
To get the front section out I had to lay back the main hoop, which meant seat removal, back stay removal & loosen main hoop floor bolts - not a quick job plus damage to cage paintwork - so now just have rear section in car.
Your main hoop is further back than mine, so that might make it easier.
 
Cheers
