Project snorkkel was started today:



This will be the upper part:





Not sure how height it`ll be...

The upper part will be like in the picture, the lower will be a flexible hose with a fibreglas cover...

I haven`t thought about that yet, I`ll have a look tomorrow...

And I`m sure you won`t be able to see from what it was made when I`m done...

you look like you are on the right track, are you nervous about cutting a hole in your fender? I know I am

I stopped being nervous about cutting holes in my car with my first car when I cut away half of the radiator support and fender to fit a big intercooler and oil cooler. So no, I`m not...

The snorkel will be completely finished before I cut a hole, so I can make sure I like it...

First I covered the car with foil and put everything where it`s supposed to be:





Then I covered it with PU foam:





When the foam has dried I`ll cut the rought form out of it and put fibreglas on...

Next update this afternoon...

This damn foam didn`t dry yesterday because it was so cold. So I let the car outside this night and this morning it was dried.

This is how it looked like:





Cut and sanded in form:



Fibreglas:



First layer finished:
