The motor swap was done in two sittings. I was originally just going to use this piece with the 2 turbos, and a bit of wire mesh for the grill.

Eventually I put the boxer from an Aristo Rat in there and ditched the wire mesh.

There’s a little mark on the roof. I didn’t even see it til the satin black went on, but considering how big the gap was that I filled. I’d say this is a win.
