misterZ Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thoughts on Aston Martin DB4/5 nose and bonnet; could it work on an s30? I don't have any measurements but curious if it could be fab'd and look good. mister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palosfv3 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Anything can be done . It just gets expensive. I'd guess $15k to $20k for the fabrication work at a competent metal shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterZ Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Tempting but I was thinking glass and also think it would look pretty cool & unique. I was a big Bond fan growing up and the DB5, IMO, was the best Bond car of all times. Thanks for the specs Trevor! mister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
