Converting short bonnets.

Start with clean short bonnet and unroll the leading edge




Make up a new leading section and fit into place



Make up an inner section



Modify the catch so it still fits the 'short bonnet' slam panel



Fill and prime



Paint and fit to car - long steel bonnet - short bonnet front/slam panel

Well Done! I assume that is an SC/Carrera backdate.

Are those Damon's (Series900) turnsignal filler sections? Maybe you have a similar source on the other side of the pond.

I imagine you could PM Chris. He probably has them at his shop. I purchased his sunroof delete panel earlier. He boxes and ships them over.
