I think calling this ram air is being too kind. It is more like cold air (as in not so freaking hot air).
So a cold air intake? Cool!!!

I really like the look of the org air box but have the oval filters like the ones from Victoria page 97 the longflow brand. It came with the car. The air box is hard to find so make sure you keep it. Most rusted out or where taken off and thrown away.
Mines not rusted, just dirty looking. The plan was not to use it, even though I did like the single oval look, but had planned on keeping it anyway. I have a special box dedicated to parts that will not be going back on the car, but will not be thrown away due to historical reasons. My mirrors keep migrating back in forth from the good box to the bad. Apparently 42yo mirrors arent as functional as they were back in the day. The silver element starts to tarnish and cloud, resulting in poor reflections. I had planned on just having a local shop cut me up some new glass, but seeing that I can just spend a little more and get brand new ones, the old ones keep finding their way back into the bad-but-keep box.
Is it wrong to keep busted tail lights and door pulls?

My guess is it is nothing more then vacuum cleaner hose or maybe hose that you hook to a sump pump. I wish there was a better picture of where the terminate.

Actually, apparently they were. They are shown not only in spitbits, but victoria british as well. Probably the same air tubes that connects the heater box to the defrosters. I bought a used but nice haynes manual. Its so old that the book is a hardcover, rather than the paperbacks they now come in. Inside there is no example of these pieces, but on the cover you can see the air pipes and the radiator shroud they go to. Haynes wouldnt publish something that was aftermarket, would they? I will have to check my owners manual and see if there are any more pics

Here is a link to another look with what looks like the round filters

Thats actually what I was going to do. I felt both carbs would get equal amounts of air, and actually more air, being that air would be coming from every direction instead of two small holes.
This cars a tough one. I wanna keep it original, but also want to update it. I already have plans for modern paint, power windows (window crank would be the up/down switch), A/C, and a classic autosound radio. I kinda wanna keep the air box. I think, cleaned, it would look nicer than whats in the pic. I wanna recreate the pic I showed, which I guess means I'll hafta make my own since I cant seem to find the part.
Other "originality" issues Im having is, I think all GT6 mk1 came with a white headliner. I know mine must have because the plastic on my dome light is white (yellow) But I plan on making it black, the center console I believe is supposed to be very basic, but I think Im going after the Mk2,3 look. My hood already isnt original. Im basically torn on what I want.
Bringing up the hood, thats probably why I dont have those parts. I bet this was in a front end collision. Thats why the hood is different and radiator shroud gone. Also explains my chewed up bumper and lack of bumper gaurds.
