More Bits & Pieces - Part 2:
Obviously I can't trim the driver's side until I've got the right shape roughly built out.
So I've now added the first layer of fibreglass filler to start that process.
While I had the filler out, I also gave a light skim to the back of the wind deflector lip.
That was as much as I could do out the front as the sun was already setting rapidly.
So my final job of the day involved marking another line along the front of the bonnet.
Then I took my angle grinder to the bonnet nose to give me a "roughed up" area to work with.
Excuse the flash, but it was starting to get dark by now.
The basic plans for my "nose job" are:
- Extend out the driver's side of the nose so it matches the passenger side.
- Give the outside edge of the nose a slightly sharper point, as it is currently very flat in places.
- Build up the inside edge of the nose opening to provide a deeper area for the grill to fit against.
- Ensure that inside surface that the grill fits against is also flat and even all the way round too.
Initially I will mix up a batch of "home brewed" fibreglass filler to get the main shape I want.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
