width / lenght of OEM hood

Pickin one up from a seller

Need to know how wide / long (front to cowl) it is so I can figure our how to transport it.

Im currently NOT planning on taking my truck so thats why Im asking...

If I do take the truck - as far as I recall the hood SHOULD fit in the back of a gen1 4Runner with the seats down - right?

Thanks!!!

It looks like it will fit in the back of my 1992 (MKII) Golf... opening is like 44" cross angle...

The Golf hood is actually slightly larger

I ferget how MINI the 83-88/89 mini trucks really were.

I was spec'ing a Forrester and realized it was SMALLER (body wise) than the Gen1 4Runner.

Was going to get one, then decided to wait for the 08 MY as there will be a white "sport". Leather can be added via Katzkins cheaper than dealer - plus then I can get grey leather... (Kathy veto'd black leather -I dont really care for the Tan interior)

Of course if we wait for the 08/09 MY - a TDi Golf might be available (this is a DD car - planning to keep the 4Runner
