There may be trouble ahead

Oh bum more rot, this is easy to deal with the boot lip is just spot welded in

oops forgot the finish pic, bare with

Well i thought the bonnet i was going to use was in good order but after a good look with my glasses on realized it was far from it, so i have another bonnet in good nick but the hinge mount has rotted out one side, the old bonnet came in handy for repairs.

A bit tricky to do as the welding tends to pull the bonnet out of shape abit, i can only assume Mitch had a barrel of laughs doing his bonnet.

Cracking job...

I've watched this thread for ages and you never cease to impress me with how you overcome a problem.

Well done Sir!

Yes Mitch did, and wouldn't bother splitting the whole thing apart again, it was a nightmare

You have done an excellent job my friend, I hang my head in shame

Thanks for your feed back chaps, always appreciated.
I'm feeling a little under pressure to be honest, the car is off to the paint shop it a few weeks time, but i still seem to be able to find things to do to it, although the build post paint shop should be pretty straight forward, i'm getting quite exited tbh.

Best to sort out the seat mounts now before it goes off to the paint shop. many moons ago i welded some plates onto the floor for seat strengthening, however i couldn't work them in as i didn't want the mount wider than the seats.
Decided to go for the MX5 seats as i didn't really fancy buckets in it.

Front sub frame rear mounts now at hand, the front ones should be ready shortly

i've put the car on a dolly now and fitted the replacement os door, i wasn't right keen on repairing the other door and this one came up just at the right time, bonus.

its been a while since its been out in the sun shine
