Looks like you're going great guns Dan.
Rear apron has come up a treat. After the A pillars are done, is there much more body work to go before paint?
Must catch up some time

well, a suitable replacement bonnet proved too difficult to find, so the decision was made to repair the original one. At least that's one more original part on the car.

Hey Dan,
Can you send me the details back for the guy with the other bonnet. I might need another. Car is looking good.
Do you think it might be done to roll down to VW show as a unfinished project.

Bonnet looks heaps better than it did. But now with all that extra steel on the car it will be slower!! You had speed holes before!!

it did have a tap in the front at one stage, and another front apron had been welded straight over the top of the old one. A double skin of sorts.
Prob why the bonnet gap was never perfect.
That has all been cut off and straightened out and the old apron replaced with a new front apron
