SSG bonnet on HSG

[something_wild]

Yep, i'm sure it's been done but i REALLY like that subtle little top mount scoop on the ssg and was wondering where i could go about sourcing a complete bonnet?

My other alternative is to graft on some sort of bonnet vents either side of the stock bonnet....or even better, either side of the SSG bonnet?

Anyone gone the other way and grafted on evo style vents....big job?

Ultimately, i'd be wrapped with a SSG bonnet but interested to hear what others have done/seen?

Easy enough to do. If you don't need the airflow from the SSG bonnet, block the bonnet off to stop it getting really messy under the bonnet.

As for sourcing one, your guess is as good as the next persons..

I'll get bagged for doing it, but I have another Ford XB GT bonnet that I will weld onto a nimbus bonnet that I'm looking for.
Open at the screen like the one I welded on a galant bonnet.
Cheers !

Rockabilly, Let me know if you need one bad, I can get you one here in Brisbane for $125 and I'm happy to drive it down with me if I can fit it in the car... otherwise... not much I can do lol

Thanks Matt..I'll see how much a hsg one down here is going for this week..I don't want your RVR scratched inside.
Cheers !

I'm not stupid luckily, so I can wrap it up pretty well. Keep me updated

 

[Astron Boy]

didn't think you could fit an rvr bonnet inside the car :S

I suppose Magnas are wider, which is where roof racks are awesome!

Plenty of wrecks popping up on ebay, and a few bonnets i've spotted also.
alternatively if you like spending money, trademe!

any place that brings in RVR half cuts should have bonnets.

 

[MattL]

If you know of places bringing in HSG Front cuts to4garret, let me know... Let us all know... Not many places seem to do it these days

what makes you think i know where SSG/HSG front cuts are?

i was just making a general statement

 

[MattL]

Hahaha. Yeah, I knew of one place with a HSG front cut, and the bits didn't last long.
