Bit more chopping and it's looking more like an engine bay. Time to mock up some air box brackets

Thanks mate, everything I'm fitting is all from the vitara donor so it's all oe.
Haven't connected any wiring yet, was mounting everything so when I do the wiring it will all be made to measure and again look oe.
Apart from the exhaust manifold, I'm wanting it to look as factory as possible.
My aim is to have it done by the end of April
