Maybe hack up a 940/740 eggcrate grille to fit maybe? I'm not sure if it's possible though. I believe it will have been done over at turbobricks.com.

Eggcrate grills were standard in 1981 - Ravennexus' car is an 81 model.

I'd be up for it. I actually drove Nessy through Lenton today...and came out the other side without gunshot holes!

cheers

:shock:

James, if you ever have to do that again, you're more than welcome to come to my place for a stiff drink afterwards.

I'll be venturing in to the Meadows tonight. If I stop posting on here, you know what's happened.
