As some of you may know, some lowlife sideswiped my Goss when it was parked on the street. I've got some quarter panel damage, but the worst of it is the passenger side scoop is missing. I can repair the dents. Body work was inevitable anyway, but I can't replace a scoop from over here very easily.


Anybody know what they go for, or where to get just a passenger side one? Seen any at the wreckers? Even repros or not mint condition will be considered. Or maybe a pair for a decent price.


Anyone hears anything let me know...


Thanks,


Mitch

Sorry to hear it Mitch......


They are not cheap anymore these days... and steer clear of the fibre-glass repro's... unless you buy a pair of them... as they are a little different to the orginals.


Anything from $150 and up for a shabby pair......

Nitch take that thing opff the road untill you restore it as it makes no sence to keep drivng it till it falls apart.shes needs a rotiserie resto too bro,treat that ole girl right.

Thanks guys. I have some leads, esp. from a mate in NZ.


I'm gonna take this opportunity to explore the possibility of making functional brake cooling ducts out of the side scoops. All you need to do is open up the backing plate where the fins are, cut a suitable hole or two in the quarter panel, fabricate an air plenum and run some flexible duct to the area of the brakes. I won't be altering the originals I'm getting, but I might pull molds so I can experiment with no loss of valuable parts.


Theoretically it should work. As far as how useful it is, I dunno... I expect it might come in handy for SCCA types, but for everyday driving??? I just have a distaste for non-functional scoops, bulges and whatnot, so I thought I'd give a purpose to the side scoops.


Any thoughts?
