Seems a fairly easy fix, all bolt on stuff.

Might be worth having a word with jimbob who bought Dico`s clam and bumper :?

Have u had the engine running?

Kid, your bonnet and lightpods look as thought they survived nicely, clamshell looks fixable and I still have a spare bumper for sale.

I have a bonnet catch and striker spare (Jimbob bought my bonnet but didn't) need them, if you need them you can have them?

Really nice to see someone putting a nice car back on the road!!

Cheers,

Phil
