Yes the car was fitted with a supercharged fence by previous owner, I do not have the standard fence so I'll leave it with the supercharged fence and exterior pipes but without supercharger on my engine.

WoW, you have a lot of patching up to do on those front wings!
Tig welding old corroded Aluminium is fun right?
Be sure to get those headlight openings spot on and checked with covers working. It will save you a lot of swearing when the car comes together.
