  1. Etch primed the inside of the bonnet. Will flat back and paint over with high build primer and top coat when it gets a little warmer. Aiming to paint the top of the bonnet once I have aligned everything and it is back on the car:
  2. The bonnet hinge is split, cleaned it up and will weld it back together prior to painting.
  3. The drivers side looks like it is going to be challenging when I remove the wing (eventually). Lots of pop rivets everywhere including near the fuse box.
  4. yep, I actually think they fitted the bonnet and then added filler until it lined up with the wings instead of actually just adjusting the bonnet
  5. Making some good progress on the bonnet, etch primed and skim filled repair
  6. Isn't the chrome just a push fit around the screen? Just like a Mini rear screen? I tend to fill the gearbox up from underneath the car. The gearbox oil comes in a container suitable to do this..
  7. I like that idea with the glove box, may well look at this moving forward. Probably best to say that it isn't the ideal way to endear yourself to the elctorate. We now seem to have a lot more agressive and dangerous driving unfortunately.
  8. Are there any specific kits people have used for this? Guessing it is just live and earth with an inline fuse? I’d like to fit a road angel pure just to monitor my speed accurately. As you may be aware we now have a blanket 20mph speed limit in Wales and when they can possibly book you at 22mph I know my speedo is not that accurate. Thanks Jason
  9. Thanks, I definitely do not have these on my car. Will order some now.
  10. Do you have a pic of this? I don’t think I have the four side rubbers? I have the two cones.
  11. Thanks both, I’ve seen stoneguard used on Spitfire bonnets and it is quite effective but that panel can get weathered quite a bit.
  12. Well that was relentless, I thought the top of the bonnet was going to be the easiest side to strip. All of it was covered in a layer of filler, complete nightmare. Welded up a spilt in the top of the bonnet and now need to make and fit Stuart’s bonnet strengheners next. Still a lot of work to prepare the bonnet for paint. Question: does anyone stoneguard the inside of the bonnet prior to painting? Thanks
  13. Rather than have multiple threads I thought I would merge my car and its progress into one thread. I'll have lots of questions as I progress but I hope I can start to answer a few questions as well. So, I bought this car via an online auction through Trade Classics, a little wary as I was unable to visit the car the pictures and videos displayed a very honest seller and a car that had been used but also maintained. More importantly it had also been garaged for the 36 years of ownership. The car was delivered with social distancing in place, again very odd although this will be the fourth car I
