Digging deep with the screw driver, to find someone really liked using filler + fibre glass, as under the back seat where the side and the floor meets, that was plastered in fibreglass! so the best i could do was just weld some big plates in place, instead trying to get the panels looking original, as there was far too much metal loss.
Since having the car, i always thought the bonnet felt a bit too flimsy and it always made me curious whether or not it was the hinges or the hinge bolting area... well when i got the screwdriver to that, the bonnet both sides dropped and smacked my head
as it turns out the mounting area was held up by fibre glass as well. I have to say though, who ever did the fibreglass to the bonnet hinge mountings, done a pretty good job as i would never of believed it, just by looking at them
luckily the hinges are the last parts that need welding to my knowledge, so hopefully i can start sanding the rest down, then pull the glass out from her
I'll try to keep posting as soon as i can and i will definitely be painting it red again
