Very conscious that I have been quiet the last couple of weeks, so thought I would update you all with my progress and some pictures - we all know a picture paints a thousand words.
So, as previously mentioned I got the bonnet pins fitted, and by setting them quite low I was able to pull the bonnet into line quite well.
By using the rubber bump stops from the slam panel removed during the strip the back of the bonnet is sitting quite well at the shut line.
