well, because I couldn't go Donny I decide this long weekend would be a car weekend cause I been having trouble getting motivated to would on the car and glad to see I found my MOJO again!
Firsltly my sills have started bubbling, assumed it was trapped water so thought best to sort before it really damages the sills, well, it was water but glad to say no major sill damage, just some filler to smooth few imperfections in sill. Now primed and ready to paint.
Not happy with doing just on job changed the glass on the drivers side head light as it cracked when did it last time.
Then the major isue, since my front end change the bonnet has never sat properly, previously I ground the bonnet loop thingy which helped but this then caused the bonnet to shack alot at speeds aboue 50mph, so I wleded that back to normal and ended up back where I was.
After mush testing found it was the latch being held to high, the frontend panel was a pattern part, had to be problems with it sometime.
So I removed the grille, closed bonnet and got it held in place and welded the bonnet latch mount (not the actual latch) to the centre vertical bar and made new hone to the latch to bolt onto.
Then came moment of truth and all was good!!!
