Nice matey, actually looks okay in white lol. Contrast's well with the Orange.

Ive yet to see this in real yet, but some day soon maybe!!

Keep up the great work fella!

Completed more work on the fibreglass bonnet today, painted the brackets gloss black and rivited them to the wing gutters.





Aligned the bonnet pins and bolted them to the brackets, fiddling with them to align them correctly. To mark the holes where I needed to drill i brushed a small amount of paint onto the tops of the pins, lowered them to the maximum, and closed the bonnet.






The paint then marked where I needed to drill the hole for the pin to fit through. I then filed out a rectangular hole large enough for the pins to fit through.







The bonnet was lightly sanded and the pins were then fixed to the bonnet.



End result:



The bonnet needs filler in places and a light sand to bring it upto scratch. Now I shall pray for some good weather so that I can spray the bonnet vermillion. So for now, I have a white bonnet!

Funilly that looks really really good.

Cheers bud for the speedy reply! It does look well, think it will look better in paint though, will look more smooth and finished!

I'm sure we will get some good weather soon so you can spary it. keep up the good work

Small update!

Bought and fitted these: (Real leather gaitors)





Thats all folks!

Nice little touch that matey; you got a shot of how it was before??

Just a small update. Shes running well, so far so good! Will be equipping her with electronic ignition this weekend and then will be getting her properly timed and set up, hopefully on the same day. I changed the standard centre clock housing for the Cooper style pod. I havent put any clocks either side as of yet, I quite fancy a Smiths Vacuum guage and clock. The dash cards are a b*tch to fit! Once they're in they're in, so wont be adding extra gauges for a long while yet I dont think!

I can hear the carb sucking in the air from the standard filter, as the pod is less sound deadening! Sounds really good, as if I was running something special...but its merely the 850!

Anyway heres the pics:

looks great that mate

She now has elctronic ignition. She idles so much better and I have also notice a slight increase in perfromance, better pick-up

Update - Since its been nice weather, finally managed to get my bonnet prepped and sprayed!

looking very smart matey, nice spray job too !!!! just goes to show that you dont have to spend a fortune at a spray shop to get it done !!

lookin tidy that mate.

Very nice paint job mate.

Look great. I've still not seen you about in it though
