It is but it's better for someone to get them on the road again, rather than just being in a shed doing nothing ![]() Don't let the work needed on your dad's 90 get to much you must keep on top of it ![]() 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper. |

yeah, he is trying to find out what is the best chassis to go for, its also looking at a replacement bulkhead. Its getting very scabby and holes have started appear near the bottom of the door. ![]() In the words of my Good Friend, Gary Forrest 1980 -2025 " we will work something out" |

So earlier this year i managed to get another bonnet for Millie, not mint condition but in good condition and the original right colour for her, fitted
![]() Click image to enlarge The blue bonnet needs some holes filled as when i bought her many years ago she had the fittings for a spare wheel to be mounted, bonnet off Millie and the checker plate off as well ![]() Click image to enlarge Holes that need to be filled in which at the moment let water in the engine bay, luckily i have a very good metal man that will do all this for me ![]() Click image to enlarge On the under side the original colour ![]() Click image to enlarge there is just one bit of rust that needs attention which he will do ![]() Click image to enlarge so i'm just waiting for a call to say it's all done ![]() 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

If my memory serves me well, where you see the rusting through the frame, there is a stiffener plate spot welded inside the frame. I think can just see the spot welds in your pictures.
Its kind of classical LandRover engineering, with built in moisture traps ![]() PS. It is very easy to remove the bonnet skin from the frame ![]() Galvanizing the frame will make it last for a very long time, but understand it may be uneconomical in the UK… given the cheap prices of 2nd hand parts and expensive hot dipping charge!! Ahh, and when I re glued the skin to the frame it really transformed the feel of the bonnet. I had forgotten that it could be rattleless ![]() 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

How come you are getting the original bonnet refurb'd Clay? The replacement looks decent... or am I missing something?
