well i am guessing it is still gonna look like it used to look but not under the hood... looks like you are going in a good direction... but motor work is not my speciality...

Dope, can't wait to see the finished product.

Looks good so far.

I have a few words of advice. first off, did you weld up all the seams under the hood?? It appears that you did, but I cant tell for sure because you started grinding it already.

If you did....I am saying this honestly as a friend, if you ever get into a front end accident, you are going to be seriously injured. The reason everything is spot welded is because the structure was engineered to absorb impact during an accident. By welding everything closed, you are fortifying the structure and therefor limiting its ability to absorb impact, that additional force will be distributed into the passenger compartment if not absorbed by the front rails/aprons.

With that being said, im guessing after its all said and done there is going to be a layer of bondo in there to smooth everything out, if you daily drive the car, over time that bondo is going to crack. No matter how much you weld up front, there will always be some flex in the body and the flexing will crack the bondo.

Aside from that man do it up big if thats what your going for, I think it will be cool for a show car.

I happen to have a VRG front (comes stock on European models) lying in my mother's garage... two bolt holes are broken and it's got a ~5-6cm (2-2.3") crack on the underside, but is still usable if given a little work. Only problem is it's in Norway, and could be costly to ship. I have no idea what would be a reasonable price for this bumper or what it'd cost to ship internationally, but I can check if you're interested. The colour is burgundy red, if it matters.

Sorry to steal this thread momentarily, but if he doesn't want it, I'll take it, name a price.

well you had the oil part right

its an oil catch can. its purpose is to collect any oil "blow-by" and prevent it from going back into the intake.

**boostzealot** · 10-27-2008, 07:51 AM
