In getting ready to add the rest of the E kit, first I had to modify the front fenders. The wheel arch lip was modified (similar to the Boss 302 arch mod) by trimming the lip & then folding it up closer to the outside edge ......
The rear edges of the repo panels usually need work & this picture shows a mod that gives extra strength & increased clearance to the plenum chamber (eliminating a potential squeak)
A further mod required when fitting this kit is cutting the lower nose off the fenders. The way this kit was made, allowed me to create a lip so the lower nose panel can be bolted on. These pictures show the lip, note the fenders are upside down in these pictures .....
Another mod while the fenders are still off the car, is to give access for changing a headlamp bulb if ever one blows. In the kits I have seen, you have to remove the nose to replace the bulb. Quite stupid IMO. The fix is to cut a big hole in the panel .....
That meant new front splash panels needed to be made. First pic is comparing the old & new, second pic is the new .......
Before test fitting the nose panels, a couple of Riv Nut fasteners needed to be fitted to the front tie rail. This allowed the lower nose panel to be fastened in place ....
Nose panels test fitted .....
