Belated Update...
I managed to grab a few more hours on the car yesterday, so more forward progress has been made.
The bonnet was left propped away from the body shell the other night, due to this strengthening 'rib'.
As until the bonnet lips have been trimmed to size, they are in the way.
So I marked up where the edge needed to be cut.
Despite the heat, I still put on my safety gear before using the angle grinder.
Then to ensure I didn't accidentally cut the wing off, I stopped short of the bottom.
Then I
carefully completed the cut using a hack saw blade.
So now the bonnet can fully close.
Note: I have removed the rubber locating cones, so the bonnet is sitting lower than normal.
Sanded down the repair to the rear wheel arch.
Then I tidied up the fibreglass on the bonnet lip, including grinding out this join on the inside.
( Sorry, it is not a great photo. )
Then I covered both sides of the bonnet lip with fibreglass filler.
End of Part 1…
