Bad luck with the Bonnet, it could have been worse, it could have broken the windscreen as well Great to see progress here, loving the work so far I had the exact same problem with my bonnet when I took mine for a 'quick test', quite scary a 40+ mph as the bonnet is twice the size of the windscreen, mine stopped short of the windscreen as well but sheared off both hinges and bent the corners. I'm just going to make a fibreglass copy of my mates 'flat' bonnet though. Good luck gettin it sorted All the glass is of the car yet... It only bent abit where the hinges are bolted but nothing big... I've only noticed that when I was going to close it... The outer skin is almost undettectable... I'll see what I can do tomorow... I think I might have to change my water pump... It's leaking abit now... Maybe when I install all for the last time I remove all the rust in the water and change the water pump...

Just thought about my daily for some days because the oil consumption and since it doesn't smoke and the back end is covered in a fine spray of black oil it might not be the rings but the valve stems on the exaust side... Got to order some valve stems and the tools to replace them...
No update on this one... Just got me 2 badges for the grill, a AA one and a RAC one... I've opened the head and the fog lights to be cleaned and painted.. I don't know where I putted the seat belts, got to find them...

Safe to say that lot should keep you busy for a day or two. Keep up the good work.

Excellent project, and a nice parts stash.
One thing though - intermotor points are awful. Please see if you can find some Bosch ones instead - they look to be a standard Bosch part - they'll last much longer and give a much better spark.

This is just some spare parts incase I might need since here the parts are a lot expensiver than in other countries... I know the intermotor points are curse word but I've got them cheap enough from Uk... Thanks for the comments...
