Yeah, i considered doing this, but first you need to pay for a 32 gtr bonnet, which being made out of aluminium is not cheap for one that is perfect. Then you need the latch, more money... apparently the gts-t latch can be modified but you would need to be able to work with metal etc...

Then you have the grill. The bonnet will be fine without it but it will look off without the grill. The grill are another item that sell for a pretty penny, a lot of ppl want them, so be prepared to pay a bit for that...

If you are happy with all that, then yes it can deffinately be done for a price...

The bit that holds the bonnet down. So when you pop your bonnet inside the car, then u got to the front of your car, there is a little handle you reach under to lift, then the bonnet can be raised. On a GTS(T) the latch secures to the front of the bonnet, due to the differences in the GTR bonnet the latch will not line up, AND it is in the way of where the grill would be located...

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
