Great work , some serious metal forming there and proper repair, not just pure replacement ( which I really dislike), have you chosen a colour yet?

Hi
Im thinking Blutorange at the moment - though i havent seen it in flesh yet. I asked to make a sample panel for me but havent received it yet. One thing is for sure - it wont stay Champagne yellow

Now that is impressive!
With so much rot and the time spent, would a new bonnet not have been a more viable option?

Dont forget that i live in Estonia and when comparing part prices with the options of repairing items usually repair is way cheaper. Bonnet transport alone would cost substantial amount of money.

Excellent and it still has (most) of the original bonnet, interesting to see all that foam and observe how it accelerates corrosion, I didn't know it was used so early assuming it was original .

Those are some awesome metalworking skills.
The champagne yellow is a pretty rare colour, and it was certainly a special order. Would you be able to post a photo of the badge to aid my research into paint codes.
