I suppose the last time this car was painted, the original hood attachment mechanism was replaced with "aftermarket" hood pins. Also, the lift assembly had been removed entirely making it very difficult to raise the bonnet. In the photo to the right you will see the mounting hole that was drilled for the installation of the hood pins and the two adjacent holes that were for the attachment of the original Dzus fastener system.
Pictured to the left, is the section of the bonnet where the hood pin flange was mounted. These five holes must be patched with new metal and a new hole drilled in the proper location for the Dzus fastener. It is difficult for me to understand why this hood pin system was installed in the first place...but it was.
Thanks for tuning in...
