Hood hinge pics

[parsonsj]

As some of you may remember, I've been fighting a hood hinge problem for a month or so. The problem was that the tire would have hit the hinge during bump travel. So with Jeremie's (Gonzostyle) help, I hooked up with Bavarian Auto and got a complete 3 series BMW setup.

I had to do some fab to get it to work, but I think it is turning out nicely. Not shown (since I haven't finished that part yet) is the rear roller/track part where the back of the hood fits onto a track and is guided into place. Very trick. Gotta give the Germans some credit for a robust and compact setup.

Here's some pics at the "proof of concept" stage.
