Fillers isn't a bad thing, the less the better. But if needs be, so long as its done properly its ok.

You can blame Karis for that big hole

I saw the fibreglass there and wanted to fix it but she didn't let me as it "would take too long"
The switch and wire aren't hooked up to anything, think there used to be some spots on the front or something????

evening chaps. right quick update then back to a few vl questions.
so I got the engine ready for removal yesterday. it was just sitting on a jack.
wrapped a chain around and with a big ol bar we lifted it out by hand
ill clean up the engine bay and make an extended breather for the front while its right there, but thats for another day.

glad the engine came out alright matey at least your not hanging around with it!
with the virtual lift i would personally use the method that Scottie said about tacking the arch lip and using that as a template etc then you get a perfect curve then your could fit the arch extentions and make it look stock even though it has the virtual lift!
