1. Bodyshop. Unless you're proficient with metal work it's probably not something you want to do yourself, more trouble than it's worth.
2. For the hood, just make a prop rod (stick of some sort). If you do a search you'll find lots of info on trunk/hood struts. (I hear concussions are easy to get from failed hood struts!
)
3. There are many aftermarket coolers that can be made to work. Again, a search will yield tons of info.
4. No idea from me
5. No. In the event your SVX has to be parked for a while (tranny, wheel bearings, etc..) the withdrawl can be severe, and getting back in for the first drive will make you so jumpy no one will want to be around you for long
