Going to make the first attempts at a grille block the weekend, along with primer-ing the new panels.... might get black primer and not bother painting over it, go for the beater/rat/hood ride look!
Prefered hothatch for 4wdrifting was the 205gti- liftoff oversteer FTW

Apologies for the Nova comment-although it seems to have dredged up some nostalgia

Have you got a route for the air intake? going to use the plastic bottles to make the grill block?

As for the painting- use paint, not primer so it doesnt absorb water and rust
