My son finally turned up on the weekend and we tossed the bonnet on. Wasn't happy with the fit so we had to do a bit of tweaking. I spent two days getting the bonnet perfectly straight. But the bonnet side edges where it meets the top of the guards was a bit high in the centres both sides. My son is a tradesman panel beater and decided to push down with both hands complaining how tuff the old cars are compared to what he works on day to day. The bonnet come good and the lines are now perfect. The downside however is that he put some ripples in the bonnet on both sided. I spent all day yesterday getting it straight again.
Sometimes it feels like its one step forward and two backwards. My bad I should have trial fitted the bonnet before I highfilled it, anyway its done now and one step closer. Defently getting plenty of practice and re honing my body repair skills. Not that I was any wizard at it in the first place.
