Default Fitting a Toyota body?

I've recently got my hands on a Tamiya Toyota body, and was trying to fit it onto my Wraith. I ended up cutting the roof and doors off (Now it's just the front haft)
It fits pretty well, but with one problem. There's a rather large gap between the dashboard cage area, and the front of the hood. In-other-words, I've done the battery forward mod, and you can see the battery.
9th picture down on n00b's build.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Styrene? More cutting?

Looks like you answered your own question, that is a nice build to study. Styrene...cut as needed...
