Might look for a good used grill to work with as mine is pretty much mint and would be a shame to butcher it.

Hi Arctic, Thanks for the link, nice looking job done to that grill but .... it looks like the 'stamped out' alloy mesh, i'm going for the woven stainless heavy gauge type of look, a bit like the Bentley Turbo R.
Already found the stainless mesh on the 'bay' so as soon as i find a decent grill I can get started.
Many thanks again for the link, very much appreciated.

Saw the pic .... absolutely awesome job, it just looks so right & probably one of the best 'n' most effective styling mods you can do to a 75.

Thanks Darcie, the mesh used for that conversion came from a mk1 ZTT which I was breaking at the time. I don’t own the car in the pic now but I recently saw it for sale on autotrader and it is still wearing the mesh grills.

As said before ... awesome job you did there, taking the mesh from the ZTT was a 'no brainer'.

I have to confess, Gusv did most of the work, I was his apprentice.
