The bonnet stiffener on Izzy is rusted to the point daylight now appears through sections:

The question: Is this really worth repairing? Or time for a replacement?

The Isuzu 2.8 engine sits a little higher than what fits under the original bonnet line. This view is formed by the fact the original bonnet has seen some rough and ready "adjustment" with a hammer attempting to flatten out the top hat section. Some rework might be needed, but sadly none of the percussive maintenace style adjustments are where this one has rusted. Such is life.
