Can't do that but it may be up for sale soon. Changing jobs with a bit of a commute so need a more economical daily.

Finished and swapped the bonnet. Lots of pictures on my project thread but here’s one so you get the idea.

Finally swapped onto the truck with new black letters to finish it off. Pretty pleased with it. I had to swap the washer jets accross too. I might have another run at some of the deeper scratches again but for now it's done.

Pretty pleased with the results. It’s by no means perfect but as the paint isn’t 100% on the rest of the truck it is good enough.

Using a DA polisher meguiars cutting compound and polishing compound I’ve started to correct the new bonnet as best I can. Some of the scratches were really deep and as you can see the whole bonnet is scuffed and scratched.

First I removed the pin stripe which had been applied down one side only on the new bonnet. At some point the previous car has had the side blown in as it was lacquered over. Managed to get it off. I've then removed as much of this second lacquer layer as possible using a sharp blade.

Finally as promised the new (to me) bonnet. Here is what the old bonnet looked like before I started.

. Mine loves the P38 so much she bought a fiesta so she doesn't have to drive it :rolleyes:

Cheers I'll try them I did and all I got was messages saying "how much to ship". So now I've listed it with shipping I just get people asking for money of the £10 asking price :rolleyes:

I’ve had to get a quote to uk general. Tried interparcel and parcel monke but no joy

Thanks guys. I’ve got them listed on ebay for £10. The shipping just makes them unreasonable. Don’t want to take the **** and get a member to drop it off. Thanks anyway

Has anyone managed to ship an exhaust for a reasonable price? I have a centre and back box I want to shift but the cost of shipping is around £20 each which just seems unreasonable.

Thanks man.:) Yeah they are p38/disco 2 specific. The offset is 25 I think off hand. You can get them from Beamach etc. Not sure on shipping to Australia though :D https://bearmach.com/16-x-8-black-modular-steel-wheel-ba-015es

Make sure you get the later spec if you can as the early ones don't have the wood insert in the top that I see you have and that will save faffing as I can imagine getting that lower material insert out would be a right pain if even possible at all. :D

eBay mate. Can't remember the seller but this person has a some early and facelift panels. Might be worth checking with them...
