Hi,
You can take the metal channel strip holding the rubber seal around the boot,
and replace it with Mexican type seal
which clips onto the bonnet lip...
You will still need the original rubber across the top...
You can do the same with the engine lid seal

more updates
well the Oz day long weekend seemed as good as any to do some rust work
the dark area had a plate pop riveted and a few tack welds over the rusty bits :shock:
both rear corners and the left hand heater channel bottom corner along the lip
next to fill in the holes some idiot cut for speakers
a couple of 15 x 6" rims i picked up ,so now i need some 235 /75 x 15 a/t tyres for them
well the rims now have tyres, $85 each with 10mm tread depth
and a full shot
hopefully start the bar-work next week as the tube has been ordered,just waiting for it to be delivered to my work
and the baja now belongs to me, as the daughters bf decided it was costing to much,so i paid him his original purchase price as i`ve bought
everything else
