hey guys just wondering what that hook like thing is that resides next to the hinges on the bonnet?
do i need these as there in the way for something ive got planed:):)

They are so in a crash the bonnet folds up, rather than slicing your head off

nah ya dont need em

by **SkunkWeRX** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:15 pm

yeah thought thats why they are there:)
would it fail a wof if i removed them and smoothed them off?
do they check for them?

Why remove a basic safty feature? Sure youl proberley never need them. But why risk it.

i got bored in the weekend and had a crazy idea of putting my parts car a ae92 treuno front end on my wagon:)
ive never seen it done before,everything can be made to fit just came to a snag when i tried the bonnet as they have a diffeent hinge angle and a differnt bolt pattern,also the treuno hinges seem to foul on those hooks thats the miain reason why i aked:)

Oh yeap, ive seen it done with an AE101 and AE111 with a carib and corolla wagon, they lookd teh sex.

got any pics of links as ive got the whole set up just need a drivers side guard as mines a tad"damaged"
yeah ive had it set up sitting on mine but not fully in place as im stuck on the hook thing and unsure how to get around it....
any ideas?
also the guards need a slight cut here and there but seems to fit nice after wards.
if i go through with it i'll keep you guys posted step by step.

Could you space everything up? Or does that stuff up a lot of other alignments?

by **SkunkWeRX** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 2:55 pm

hmm i'll have a look and see, but thats not a bad idea,thanks alot:)

ok guys im about hlaf way through the trueno to wagon front end conversion...
pretty straight forward and i managed to keep those hook things there without cutting them off.(so its still safe) trimed about 2-3cm off them and rounded them back to the original shape...
then made the cut out in the bonnet where they sit in a bit longer and it fits like its meant to be there:)
ive taken pics of the stages so far and dam it looks phat..
unsure how to post up pictures
also if any one has a spare drivers side guard for a treuno i need one as mine one is a bit rusty at the bottom.
just have to do the wiring for the pop up motors and the park lite "fog lite" which should be easy as.
