We have spent hours and hours assembling the engine compartment. Today, we fitted the bonnet and fastened it into place.
The first step in the process was to assemble the hinges, bracing and trim.
The original color scheme was applied to the bonnet motif, restoring it to its original condition.
The "Flash", as it is called, was also restored to its original color and fitted to the bonnet. Incidentally, it is also original to the car.
Finally, the bonnet is fitted to the body and the support and latch mechanism are installed and adjusted.
Amazingly, the bonnet latched and released properly on the first attempt.
The installation of the fender mirror completed the task.
It looks like a car again...
