      Poor design and 9/10 there a bugger to open and they just got to be set up right. So shorten cable and going through inner front wing with small handle will do the trick plus adjust bonnet latch . Happy new year Bernie

    I find that if you jack one corner of the front of the car, it distorts the body, and it will open with a pull.

      Exactly I’ve a 1300 on my bench at the shop that was going in the GT bug but the GT bug needs a 1600 and not the 1300 . So time to bench test the 1300 ready for patina bug and current engine into wizard like you said 👍 cheers

      Yes, mate. I went down there this afternoon to go for a walk. The car park was rammo with other people with a similar idea to me! I drove around the car park and there was a Red KG under one of those trago tarp things covering the top half. Strange how it was in the middle of the car park? Mind you over on the left hand side as you drive in is a White Bay on Empi 5s that looks pretty green and unloved...
