I have been thinking about your airflow issue.
I don't like your drawing.
But if they were like really long inward and upward louvres it would look quite good

Way better. You may have to do four in a line as not sure if you can get them the full length.

the rad is in the back ian... i am using copper pipe either ran through or under the car to the front... common conversion as they run very hot..

shep funny you should mention louvres in the quarter as i will need a way to feed air to my tbs eventually... dont like the triangles or the others where people have cut "imp" or "hillman" out

lol jed cheers for the comment but minelooks far from nice.. lol its a total shed atm... it will look nice in a couple years (keeps me busy)

so got some seats and harnesses.. did a trade with an imp club member for my old dash and seats..
if im honest im not a big fan of carbon fibre but fuck me theyre uber light.. infact the homemade sub frames weigh loads more than the seats.. i will eventually look at making new frames but that can wait..anyway here they are




they are in great condition and im over the moon.. when the car is painted the carbon will be painted body colour and the cage black which imo will be very cool.

other updates when i can be arsed im measuring my strut top plates and louvres up... some time this week
