Thanks Phil. I will eventually make the bonnet up in fibreglass, but for now It will do as is. I have too much work on my hands with the doors. They are proving much trickier than I had hoped. Doing a straight copy of the inside of the door frame is not producing the results I want. I am now thinking about making my own custom/modified inner door frame that better matches the stock outer skin. I know that sounds weird, but a lot of the upper part of the door is rubber seals and stuff, and the glass sits outside this and against the outer skin.

This works fine on the stock door, with stock glass, but is not producing the clean window frame I wanted. The other option is to cut it back and use the stock rubbers etc.

I am now pulling the factory engine bay loom out of the car myself, and the car will go to the sparky next week. It is hard, as I don't really know what he wants me to keep, and the injector and ignition looms are all mixed in with other looms like the alternator and a bunch of unknown stuff. I am tempted to pull everything and just let him sort it out, LOL. I am pulling the factory computer, ABS ect tomorrow, and all the door looms are going as well. No more power windows and central locking for me. I might ditch the factory dash at the same time.
