I've been itching for a few photos of the slanty and flat fronts side by side. So we went for a bit of a drive out to (quite possibly) THE best meetup point off in the corner of Sunnybank Plaza, on the rooftop car park. It's basically this empty 24/7 from the looks of things.

 

It completely escaped me to take pictures of the engine bays next to one another (ESPECIALLY the slanty), but I'll post up a few when I next get a chance.

 

I'll start off with a few that are sure to please Reed :D

 

 

 

 

aaaaaaaaaaaaand here's a shot of those tertiary bonnet restraints... you know.... for those 200km/h passes an almost standard rolla can achieve, you wanna know your bonnet ain't goin' nowhere...

 

 

Lastly, I wanna know what you guys think of this sketch I did for the fender mirror setup I'm thinking of doing:

The mirrors themselves that I'm looking at are these ones: with the indicators, and I plan on making the arms myself from some stainless (the brackets on these don't let the mirrors clear the bonnet without looking funny).

I think the mirrors would look funny on the '70. Their too period for the car. Maybe something along the lines of what Reed has on his '70.

 

Those are good photos by the way. The white slanty makes me motivated to do something on me wagon :)

I wasn't that fussed on his mirrors when I saw them. They look good, don't get me wrong, but I like more the look of the big sticky-outty mirrors kinda like on old Dattos.

 

Cheers for the feedback.

Mad photos, no fender mirrors looks mad how it is now

Your car makes mine look rough as guts!

It's best not to think of it that way. We both have 4K's and you've got a 4A-GE. That's something you have up on us.
