In a word....no ;)

To be honest, I'm willing to bet you could make it fit under a normal bonnet with a couple of minor tweaks (and not tweaks to the bonnet!).

cheers

I'm not sure....I quite like the B14 bonnet - it's almost like a flathood is to a 240 :)

cheers

Ive got a B19 hood to. Like the looks, will get on the car sooner or later.

Had an accident with the red one. Had a tyrefailure, and skidded oversteer up the sideway. The rearaxle is cracked. So my rearwheel sits unther the car like this: / . Car will get a new one in a couple of days.

I know a couple of B19's for sale. Not in the NL though. Would take a lot less work ;)

Swapping in a 360 drivetrain is not a big deal really - I'll be putting in my (by then) 'built' B200. The car will quite likely get acid dipped and repainted, etc, so it'll all need to come off anyway.
