Bonnet flip.

[Infinite]

Ok so hinges made and all is just tacked together so what u think...





also as people commented on in last post about this, having hooks like the bmw does i can turn the old hinges into a bracket that will stop the bonnet moving back in a crash, don't need it for cert but its gona take 20mins todo it so why not!

[RomanV]

Is that as far as it can open? It looks like the front is going to hit the bumper?

Making the car harder to work on, harder for people to see the engine, err.... FTW?

I dont get why you're doing this TBH.... To me it makes as much sense as going to an engineer and asking them to turn your knife into a fork and fork into a knife.

[Infinite]

it opens basicly to vertical so not making it harder.... its just sitting at that position for the pics aint got a gas stay to move it right up yet, was just about at hitting point in thoes pictures but by moving the hinges about 20mm it fixed it gave it a better pivot point so works fine. its something differnt... that would be one kewl knife and fork

[Bling]

looks good man, i like it

I also like the amount of room you have to work on ya car!

[escortman]

hahaha that cars gona suck to work on but cool idea

[Calvin]

Something different. Good work ,, looks well done..

Its not a big issue to remove the bonnet all together to do the work on your engine. I often do it on my gtz.

u can do a quick oil check and change with the bonnet like that.

Good work dude.!!!

[Jdawg]

Yeah, it looks good. Why not do it, what car customising is all about

x2. It's nothing new, the idea was tried, and failed by various manufacturers.

thanks guys was starting to worry about no feedback/bad feedback if i had a pic of it standing right up and down u would see its not gona make it hard to work on at all... beside i shouldnt have to work on it (i hope) as u can see the bog all spare holes have been removed and all, gona put the powersteering,wiper fluid,rad overflow into 3 custom stainless tanks and run braided hoses to them all, makes it easyer and nicer plus cuts out ALOT of extra bend's and stuff. was gona deseem it to but meh it is being built for speed... and if it twists on launch there goes the bog in the seem!

[d1 mule]

awesome man, but i think if ya go to a little extra effort and make a complet flip front it will domionate!!! haha good work

[Infinite]

hahaha i had the option to buy a curren with a stuffed front wasnt gona change front to space frame rwd it and put a whole fibreglass front on it, u can actuley see just in thoes pics a space frame trike we have been doing and well i own a fibreglass factory so would be extremely easy! but wouldnt be able to drive it on the street then!

I still hold to my origonal opinion in your first topic post about this.

Nah he wont be your boyfriend. try NZHONDAs forum..

[Mr Revhead]

now now ppl..... forums rules!!


not what id do, but looks like your doing a good job of it.
just dont ruin it with chrome wheels

and good to see your fitting the catch hooks.... they really are needed, even a small ding can push the bonnet back....

[Emperor]

Thats cool man! Something different!

And like been said, wont be hard to work on.. Just unbolt the bonnet if you need to do any major work on the engine.

[Infinite]

whats wrong with chrome rims? i have a set of 20" spinners to put on it..





NOT! im going to get some nice black rims to put it on once its back on the road i think

FTW. Just goes to show how much time some Toyspeeders have actually spent working on their own cars (no offence tho).

I like the work you're doing dude. Now all you need to do is drop the roof a few inches

LOL yeah some one should photo shop it for me :p

[RomanV]

Hey Infinite you could paint the inside of your bonnet white, and use it as a screen for a roof mounted projector?! How's that for in car entertainment.

Dont get me wrong though Infinite, I like what you've done with the rest of the car, I mean no disrespect when I say that I cant see the point of what you're doing with the bonnet, it's just my opinion.
