the red bars or the welded steel duct? the duct im going to go ahead and guess ram air for the stock intake box of the beams? and the red bars are obviously the headlight mounting brackets.

Good bye RHD - welcome LHD....... Today i finally primered my damn Engine bay - tomorow - painting
As for people who where thinking doing somthing like this (or vise versa) - dont even try if you dont have enouth patience..... I was ready to burn my car like 5 time atleast...... but somthing stoped me There are SOoooo Damn much things what are different what there is no way to even document them all.... not even talking about the damn Wiring nightmare.. And not having a full front clip it would be imposible to make this happen the RIGHT WAY...If everything goes right - expect to see it finished by the end of this month  Found this Engine laying in my garage, dunno what to do with it - maybe some one needs it ???
