Moving into the front of the car. Was able to get the front hood hinged, using 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix trunk hinges. Work and look like OEM lambo but a fraction of cost. Used the same ones on my Murci build 7 years ago.

I'm also using and Audi latch and cable from the donor S6 I snagged the motor from. Worked good and has a built in limit switch for some front lighting in the trunk area.

The OEM bumper is allowing me to use all the OEM trim work and man it is lining up perfectly! A lot of metal work in that front trunk area but it is looking killer.

Also, I ripped the cut outs out of the OEM lambo box and used them here and holy hell! What a world of difference it makes! They are the vacuum actuated so on idle they are quite but when you crack the throttle, its loud! Not V8 loud but gurgle V10ish sounding! Very happy with it. Just waiting  on finalizing the rear bumper placement so I can finish routing the exhaust onto the OEM tip.

you guys are KILLING IT!!!!!

Jets is killing it! I’m just having to put a Murci back together, not build a car. Man he is doing awesome, I wouldn’t expect anything less coming from him though after the Murci build he sold prematurely (even tho I did the same thing  ::toothy ) but I learned and back at it to finish this book!

I’m working on this Murci again. I sold the Gallardo Superleggera few months back and just been concentrating and putting my efforts in it. Was hoping to have it ready to head to the painter in December but darn COVID is really messing things up right now.

Nice work on the car, I will be hooking you up on the side vents. I worked more on the bumper mold today and am hoping to be finished with the mold in a week or two.

Awesome!
