I sure can. I am just sorting out the configuration at the moment with another memeber who is checking the clearances and then I will be offering them up for sale.
Cheers,

No worries Peter, just let me know what you are sfter and i will hopefully be able to help you out.
Unfortunately I haven't got around to the scuttle panel yet, but don't worry, as soon as I do, I will let everyone know.
For the direct replacement stuff, yes only VL's at the moment but more are coming like Evo, Skylines, XR6's etc etc. What do you have in mind? There is no real limits to what can be made and for what car.

+1 for undercar surge tank.
also might be interested in a custom p/s res & coolant overflow. Will PM you after powercruise when I got some more $ to spend on the car...
Might also get a rad support/rad cover - but might end up being too big to post and need very specific measurements for what I want, so might have to go local for it.

InsaneVL - undercar surge tank might - if I'm lucky - be knocked up on the weekend. All good with the p/s res and coolant overflow. As for the rad support, post is not a problem at all. Being "specific", does that mean you have a aftermket radiator or something like that?

hmmmm recessed lids
just something different I thought you might like.....a few fish scales

Pic of the engine bay... Nizpro style cooler means Radiator is set back a bit.
Was thinking of putting the Rad overflow in a better container between rad and rad support panel (on top of intercooler), along with a p/s res there - and then have a cover that covers from the front of engine bay to the back of the radiator, and from either side of the engine bay (in a sort of upside down T shape)... basically covering the black eyelid part + sweeping back to cover radiator... might have to mspaint it to show you what i'm talking about.. lol...

No worries at all. Standard replacement radiator cover will be coming soon, I am just waiting on my sheetmetal folder to turn up to get them done.

MSPaint attached.
I suspect the hard part will be the curves (particularly the front, and round the cooler piping) without having the actual car...
