i think they plan to put a snoot on it as they need space for the air con rad, they have also had to flare the rear arches in the old nail style, will post pics as i get them its only a month between the pics and the deadline is to be ready for the vauxhall show at billing

Latest pic of the car still work in progress nearly welded up just sorting the front now, you can just see the air scoop for the intercooler so not to affect the bonnet with a dodgy vent.

Was at the Vauxhall Heritage centre on Monday and they're restoring a Firenza and even they've managed to upset the purists by using another Firenza for parts...they see this and they'll be putting on their tweed jackets with leather elbow pads and come looking to dish some whoop-ass
