As its a UK model, i think you will find that bit there is called a bonnet

 

[certifiablejeep]

Well the bonnet is being a pan in the booty and a real buggar!

Hey CB I put a rubber stopper on the bracket. My tyre was hitting the light without it. Also fills that hole

I meant to say

No hood work. Did yard work and then parts hunting. Scrambler part out with the certifiablejeep lube and massage treatments

Inhaling paint dust has you speaking in tongues. Time to take a nap.

2 weeks until the show and I am not sure I will make it.
There are a lot of little things to do... but mainly the hood and the dash are the 2 big things.
Wiring the Jeep as well... hooking up brakes and bleeding them as they are all new now.

then the small stuff to get all the parts in to start her.
Then it is the cosmetics to make it shiny... and then decals, etc.

So, there is a lot of small things and I just don't have a ton of time.

Also, I might have a "visitor" tonight... more on that later if he shows

CB, it's only one show and you're going to have your Jeep a long time. Just take your time and get it right. You'll be glad you did.
Looking good.
