I did the engine bay in POR which was a mistake, even though I sanded the surface it seams to chip away too easily.
Just as well the motor is not back in place yet.
The gloss finish is not correct anyway, so I'll strip it all and prime with a good etch primer then paint with a satin black engine bay paint.
Bonnet is also getting primed and also spray filler to take out all the slight pitting in the surface.
What a big job stripping all the paint again.
You can see the production line numbers on the radiater panel.
This let the production team know that this car was going to be a convertible and what colour to paint, what upholstry to put in and what accessories to put on.
A good coat of etch primer.
Now the satin black paint for the engine bay, just like the factory black.
Closeup of the chassis number shows how the satin black turned out.
This is the chassis number on the other inner guard.

Here the bonnet has a good coat of spray filler now I will wet sand and coat with 2 pack primer before giving the final coat.Then I bolt it back onto the body and align.
I put the seats in the other day to see how the white dash and doors look with the seats and other trim.
