Suppose I better explain the front missing


Its all going to be a frame front, Was to much rust on the front panel,wings,bulk,inner wings and cross member


So im having , New wings and front panel bolted together, there then will be a frame inside with 'tabs' allowing me to bolt the front on and off


also allowing easy access to the engine/rad/cooler etc




cheers all
