no plan to put the bonnet on any time soon then?First time in the garage in over 6 months so made it an easy one making space and put up shelving which I realised is where I hang the bonnet, so made sure I rehung it before I filled the shelving.
I touched the car lots but didn't further it's progress
Engine needs putting back together and putting in first.no plan to put the bonnet on any time soon then?
I've been welding! I think that's everything in front of the bulkhead sorted. The offside corner reinforcement and engine subframe reinforcement both had holes but the box section inside was fine. I think the problem is that the reinforcement is only spot welded on and traps water between the two layers. Other bits: I broke a drill in the sill, drilling out the broken wing bolt, so I had to cut the section out to replace the captive nut. Also some little repairs where I cut the "bonnet pins" off.

Good job you had the pot noodle thenI spend a good while lying on my back putting the sump back on. Those million bolts are the most tedious job going. Had a pot noodle and then realised that I hadn't refitted the baffle gauze that sits in the engine before the blowby outlet pipe. Doh !

Hi again. Did you also have the side shelf (left and tailgate trim carpeted ? not shown in photo. ThanksI’d got new carpets made for my 280,
Grey to match the seats. Fitted them over the weekend. Happy with them
To be sure we are talking about the same surfaces, I have indicated In a photo the small areas. Is it the same answer?Just the shelf & boot carpet, the sides & back are done in a black vinyl to match the rest, door cards roof etc
ThanksThe side shelf is carpet & the hatch shelf is vinyl
