well here is my update of the bonnet i was going to post up the other day LOL







This is the little problem i have when i close the bonnet with it being so light and the hinges being so stiff



also i may have to put another bonnet pin in the middle of the bonnet above the badge as its abit flimsey and when the wind gets under it starts to lift it abit and dont want it cracking.

also here is an update on how my interior is looking now seats are in






all was going good (except the engine) untill today when i was taking my car up my mates garage to get a compression test done and so on to see if he could find out what was up with my engine when i went round a corner and hit a patch of black ice, spun and ended up on the grass. front driverside wheel took the impact ot the raised kerb but luckley the other three went over the lowered part of the kerb. looks like its gona be a new wheel so if anyone has any 16" OZ ultralaggeras Wink 1 needed
