Another update

Got bored yet again yesturday and decided to make a bb bonnet its a must

So i started by making the templates and transfering them to peice of steel and cut them out


Sat them in place to be sure they fitted witin reason


Ground the lip off the first and second skin of the bonnet slotted the steel in and tacked them into place


I then refitted the bonnet to make sure it closed properly and to get the shape right before i fully welded in the plate
It was pretty much perfect so i welded it up the smothed it back down


Then come the messy part the first skim of fiberglass



The weather over my end was brill yesturday so it was all going off like a dream


So along came the filler


Whilst i was wating for the filler to go off i decided to do somthing with the horrid grey arches and bumper
This is the difference




So anyway the temprature started to fall quite fast and so did the sun so the filler was taking quite some time to go off i could have just put some more hardner in but i didnt want if going off when i was putting it on!
So by the time i had finished getting its shape and getting all the imperfections out with some stopper it was dark so from now the pictures are s*^#t

Anyway so along came the paint



And the finished product.......not that you can see much



Try get some better pics for tonight

I want one!!! aha looks good mate!

there non on the web for sale?

Not that I can find.... But would rather make one myself as it would be a lot cheaper but still i don't have the equipment...

im sure a local body shop wouldnt charge the earth to do one?

More than I can afford though mate... Not very well off at the moment... I'm sure I can get a grinder and welder from somewhere :p easy to make though?

if you want i will weld the peices in but i just hate filling sanding painting ect or i would make you one!

Where abouts do you live?

im between pontefract/doncaster bout 30-40 mins from scunny

i did that guide Gaz, its in the FAQ, then modified section, have a bash at it, then take it body shop be painted

and bonnet looks good mate, but you should of put it between the skins

looking good mate, will make a nice little project this will

i put it between the skins the bottom corner of the bonnet was a tad rotted so there was nowhere for it to go, the last one i did was 5 year ago on my old one and it took me ages to get the shape right took the royal *?%&*
