bonnet catch with the mount bolts sheared off, these were ziptied to the body, and made it near impossible to shut the bonnet fully(all the dents on the top of the bonnet attest to)

drilled through the old bolts, easy out and replacement bolts sourced

C'mon make with the pics

this shows Trevs amazing skill here, imho

driver's inside rear window, where the rust had come right through

and the outside

plates shaped to the body lines

filled the holes where the chrome strips mounted

initial shaping with filler

it was at this point, we sorta did something a little different

decided to remove the rear black vent covers altogether, fill the holes and make it a smooth pillar

ran out of light to do much more.

plans after Xmas stuff, are to finish these bits, and paint in my 'fire engine red' that i have left of, til i can afford the proper match

thanks again Trev..!

then had boxing day afternoon tea at in laws, watched australia kick ass in the test.

ran out of time to do more

will be hooking into it after work tomorrow

thanks for your time

looks good without those bumper holes there

did you get any sanding done on the sides at all

yeah mate, and layered another fine smidge of filler on sides and over guard, and let it set

took no pics tho, as i was trying to knock it over before lunch at in laws

Might come out for a looksee in the weekend if youre around. So bored on my holiday break, Peanut needs a road trip.

sure thing mate..!
