Thanks all - appreciate the comments.

We're moving along now. Bonnet work somewhat behind as it needed some special attention.

By the way, does anyone have any experience with that company that sells stainless steel replacement bumpers made to order in Vietnam?

I could do with some good replacements, mine are knackered. Previous owner trimmed the front bumper (and wings!) to accomodate the old wheels.

What I heard, via third parties though, is that quality and fitment isn't very good and when you have a complaint they simply block you. Better find a business that can do a proper rechrome job.

Bonnet cleaned up (don't worry, I've got some new sound-deadening to go on too!)

Ah, nice work. Did not drill that airduct thing of the hood? It could hold some more rust underneath?

Possibly! To be honest I need a whole new bonnet... But a good one is rare these days. I'll keep looking. :mrgreen:
