Once we got back from British Sports Cars we really wanted to get
the car project started but were quite busy. Additionally we had, and still
have a garage that is packed with stuff. Some stuff is inefficiently packed in
and some things we don’t need at all; however, it is quite a job to make a space
and then build a workbench.

But even more pressing was the fact that Dale could not open the
hood, more properly know as the bonnet. He spent several days trying to push
this and pull that. Then he actually opened the bonnet only to close it and of
course it was stuck again.
What he found was the anchor for the cable on the movable latch
was very loose and the anchor for the cable sheath on the body of the car was
also worthlessly loose. Needless to say that with most British Cars, removing
these two anchors involves removing quite a bit of sheet metal. So for now the
bonnet will stay open pending remediation of the latch and cable anchors.
