    Mini restoration of my 75 Series 3

    Finally finished the front end. I fitted the bonnet and it was totally out of alignment so had to loosen off the rad panel and elongate the holes. It wasn't the original and had been welded but the holes must have been slightly out. I shut the bonnet before tightening it all back up and then...
