Work in progress 2
The right hand bonnet half without the scoop was finished a few days ago but the left hand half with the scoop required a little work. I saw it nearly finished today.
My mod for the heater/aircon intake was finished today. I made the blocking piece from a sheet of PVC cut and bent into shape. Where the material was bent a crack opened but it is only in the upper surface and I will use a little black silicon to fill it. If ever I replace it I will probably use a piece of aluminium instead now that I have the shape needed.
The closed cell foam is fairly light and will sit against the under surface of the bonnet insuring that only outside air, not hot engine bay air, enters through the louvres and into the heater airbox.

That really looks great. Some excellent metal work skills on show and it now looks "all of a piece"
Here for a good time not a long time!!

After the sizzling heat over the past few days I am inspired by your solution to the uncomfortable heat in my 4/4 cabin. Its a mod I shall take on board as soon as I get home again. Thanks for your post here Peter.
