I'll take a look at the gap when I come over Mark but I think you basically have two options; refurb your old one or modify the new one.

Hopefully, see you Thursday evening after work.

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Good meeting you Richard the other night. Still can't believe what a small world it is.

Finished the bonnet today. Very pleased with the result, just wish I was doing this when the car was in Primer.

View whilst welding taking it nice and slow.


I added some reinforcing to the back.


Forgot to take a photo after grinding the weld back. But this one shows how the gaps has nearly gone.

Looks good. Are you going to have to mod the catch post bit?

No catch, cut that away. Will use bonnet straps. I'll post a picture of what I've done.

Drawing of the front panel. Thought was to give more room.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
