Looks like a clean well thought build … Oh wait "twin wastgates dumped through the hood" That seems pretty dumb.
I agree. But body panels are remarkably easy to find in u-pull it lots for e38s. It wouldn't be too difficult to re-route the wastegate dumps.

That's the place where the money from your wallet goes, after you buy it..

Lol, love this rat rod, it looks like the owner took a sawzall and cut 2 holes in the hood for waste dump.
