Test fit of the fibreglass bonnet from Andrew - the fit is really good so far. Need to get some brackets made and attached now :

More and more I think a fibreglass bonnet is the answer to my problems. It looks so clean.

TBH, once in paint, you won't know. Andrew has a great mould for these, so I'd definitely consider it for Caesar.

I need to buy a bonnet from Andrew.

I was hesitant because he could not fit the hinge brackets, but I have since realised that fitting it with proper bonnet pins on all 4 corners will make maintenance on the car an absolute breeze

She hasn't been touched in a while, but today the car got a wash before finally moving into her new home in one of the garages. At last, work can commence.

Some progress is better than no progress.

I picked up a secondhand RHS lense for the rear today. It was a little rough - dirty and covered in overspray. I gave it a bit of love and think it came out ok, but because PhotoBucket is being a b**ch, I can't show the before.

This is what it looks like compared to whats on the car :
