Tear drop cover has eventually dried so gave it a covering in fiber filler.

Once the filler has dried it's a quick sanding then body filler to smooth off the surface.

Gave the bonnet built up edges a sanding until the surface was flat and parallel i may skim over with body filler.

Cut the ally angle line that will be fastened to the top of the body wheel arch for the bonnet to clamp up against, the second image shows a strip of rubber i may use as a cushion for the bonnet lip to sit on to prevent future rubbing.


Today i have been working out how to make the boot lid stay, I'm thinking of using 6mm ally rod along with a couple of brackets made from 2mm ally sheet and a couple of pivot brackets machined from 10mm ally plate, once I've finished the boot stay ill post a few pictures hopefully in the next couple of days.


Well that's it for now see you all soon.
