Hello all, cant remember who, but somebody was telling me that there is a guy here in Australia, Sydney i think. That can cut / press the air vents like on a convertiable "w" decklid ... into a standard "w" decklid.
Dose anybody here , know who this person is.. or dose anybody here know somebody who could do this sort of job.

cheers,

have a go yourself its not that hard if you take it slow. measure twice cut once! do not forget the dremel!

do not stress about the lid being modified. it was in such a bad state to start with, it was a freebie. you will notice the extra air flow to the engine bay with vents let in. if you put your hand over it and have the engine revved you can feel the air being sucked in. if you want the correct oval vents to use the front vent panel of an early bay(vertical slots just use the correct number of slots) preffered the early sixty slots on mine.
