Strangely, my early posts were correct and I needed a new bonnet. I did source an other original and someday I will get it repaired, but I got a Speedwell Monza bonnet and the tub of another 71 midget for $350. I will start a new post as I put the car together and all the little goodies I have put together for this project. Here is a picture of the bonnet after I painted the inner side of the bonnet last year.

Did you paint a texture on the inside of the bonnet? I'm about to do mine, i wan't to clean up and paint the inside of the bonnet, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on it.

No texture, it is fiberglass. However I did roll the paint on it after cleaning. The paint is Interlux Brightside Light Blue and lays down like glass. Here is the link on how we got the thing clean enough for painting. https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf...ll-Bonnet-and-Oil-Removal&highlight=speedwell

I got the tub, bonnet and a very nice Monza gas cap in the deal. I have yet to check the diff on the car and am wondering what is in it. The midget was a trackracer with a high end 1275, 5 speed with a modiified triumph spitfire front suspension. The seller sold those parts and this was what was left of the car.

Apbos, you have an absolute knack for finding the bargains, that's for sure! That tub turned out gorgeous -- I love that color.
A Speedwell bonnet for $350? WITH a tub?! I've been nearly desperate for a fiberglass front end -- ANY front end; Speedwell, Bugeye, Box, Sprinzel, Arkley -- for a budget that's next to $0.00. (My fenders are deteriorating quickly and my wheel arches are popping.) I was starting to give up hope...Good to know that bargains are still to be found occasionally. :eagerness:

Paul,
What paint did you use on your BE. Looks fabulous and I know you can't wait to make it go Vroom, Vroom.
