Those bonnet latches look to be in a weird position. And is it that the bonnet came from the pastel blue car.

Tig welded it. Actually, it came up nice - I'll put some pics up soon.
Pastel blue? I call it blue ice - my facelift v6 is painted that colour - love it!

yes spuds lock position is in a pretty weird spot.
It is "blue Ice' correct again, and I do actually like it also, plus its the original color.
 
Spud is the underside frame of your bonnet mainly separate from the skin  in the centre bit?
Mine seemed like it should have had the outer skin and inner rails joined somewhere, you'd notice it when the bonnet twists if you picked it up from a corner.

My facelift v6 - great colour!

I'll have a look at the bonnet but the central sections of the inner frame was largely separate . Yes whoever drilled the holes for the bonnet pins was way off the mark

Here's a pic of the bonnet - showing the frame and where I'll cut it -

Am going to use a set of old hustlers I had - had 205/60's fitted

The diff was fine

Nice Ice Blue V6. Yours Deano?
