The hood (bonnet) is on!

Being a teacher, by the looks of it until school gets out for the summer, I can only do a little bit of car work each week. But at least it is progress, and every part that is put on the car makes it just that little bit closer to being done. I will try to make my updates more frequent.
     Today I worked on getting the hood...er, I mean bonnet on. Since the engine and suspension get attached to the sub-frame first and then the entire assembly slides under the body to be bolted in place, I am hoping this will not be a problem later on.

There are probably easier methods to do this but this worked for me. As my wife stayed on the outside and eyed the gaps (and took pictures), I went into the engine bay and bolted it in place. It was quite cozy in there to say the least!!

She closed the hood on me and I set the bolts in place and wrenched them in. I realized that my eyeglasses prescription needs to be updated more frequently, too!

But at least now the hood is in its proper place, installed on its hinges on the car, where it should be.

Here is the support bar that still needs cleaning and a set of nuts and screws before I can install it.

It is supposed to be a rainy week here this coming week so I can finally work on some indoor stuff, like finishing the door panels and re-reorganizing my workshop. It will be a good feeling to not feel guilty about having to do other things outside such as getting our garden in or anything like that!
Thank you for visiting!
