Thread: upgrade T4

  1. #1

    upgrade T4

    I've an interesting question:
    What would it take to make a standard T4 front into a caravelle type front?
    Just the front grill? Wings? Hood?
    Anyone done the job?

    TRAKKA did one (some). I took some pics of it while I was having some work done on the Green T4. It looked great. I just ran out of money to do mine.

    There would be more to it than just guards, bonnet, grille. Also include grille panel, bumper, radiator support, headlights, longer radiator hoses, wiring, etc.

    It's a job I would say looks easy on the outside, but gets more involved after you start.

    I love the orange one!

    Golly!

    Regarding that orange thing, I am reminded of an intro to an Angels song on one of their live albums....."This is it, people.....over the top"
