worst dent of all  how would i go about fixing this,the bonnet doesnt line up with it,its like its stretched,and you cant just unbolt the guard,you have to drill out spot welds,hunt another down,line it up right and weld back in place,pain in the arse and would rather repair any ideas?

Fair bit of work to come on the old girl but that's the half the fun, plus it'll be awesome when it's finished. Look forward to seeing more.

im going a different direction with the paint now,cos its gonna be a semi track car and is gonna get dirty,grubby,scratched etc, im gonna go for matt black,im gonna polish up all the chrome and alloy and go for matt black everything else,its cheap,easy to spray and if it gets scratched i can just touch it up with a spray can,might not look the best but the driveline will make up for it
