Roof vent finished.

Dash pad covered in non reflective black material.

Dash panel finished and fitted.

Fibreglass bonnet going together.

Alloy captivated nuts glassed in and inner and outer skins glued together.

 

Steel bonnet weight 13kgs

Glass bonnet 6kgs.

Nice weight drop, in the photo it looks like it come up good, is it that good in person? Any ripples, I'm thinking about a glass bonnet on mine but I want it flat like a steel one

Its not bad at first glance although at eye level you can see its fibreglass.

To keep it light its just one sheet of glass and gel coat thick. Its stiffness comes from laminating the two halfs together.

You can get a steel like finish, but it would take 3 or more layers which would bring it up to steel weight or maybe more and it still might flex in the sun.

Not much point.

Nice can i have a bonnet please Craig haha .

 

Excellent work as always.

 

Can you please colour code pegs in some sort of order its the fag sway thing you no.

I thought the pegs were going to be instead of bonnet clips!!!! You know to save 0.00001 grams. LOL.

 

You know I'm a big fan of your work mate but I agree with the other Rob. It was a poor effort not color coding the pegs!!!!

Cheers Rob, Ill do better next time.

 

Left door primed and painted.

I want to see more PEGs. :lmao:

I've found some of those cable tie bases we talked about, so when you drop off my OBD2 unit grab some.

Lightened some door hinges. No PEGS were used in this process.

Tappet cover and bell housing in primer.

Lightened some door hinges.

 

LoL, the lengths drivers go to for weight saving!

 

We took an Abra file to the Datsun hinges, a hacksaw blade that cuts in any direction. We left an outline of the hinge and the boltholes!

 

I've seen drivers cut the spanners in the toolkit shorter to save weight.
