S3 109 Safari project......

I removed the old hasp that held the bonnet down cleaned up the holes and welded them up. I’m not planning on using it again!

Looks a bit tidier now.

One disappointing point of the repair panel is that they don’t have return lips on the front faces to replicate the original , and that just annoys me! So, I cut some flat steel plate to size and bent it to shape and after some faffing around welded it. I managed to melt the raw edge into the new metal and put a bevel on it with the grinder. Not sure what will do with the other edges. I’ll sleep on it…..
