Default au2 bonnet bulge swap

Hey guys ive got a custom au fairmont/series2/3 bonnet with a custom fiberglass bulge where the paint has cracked.

this has ****ed me off beyond belief and i cant be bothered repairing it - even though its probably a reasonably easy thing to do.

If anyone wants to swap their stock AU2 bonnet for my bonnet with a crack let me know! im planning to sell my old girl, but i cant do it with a cracked bonnet.

who wants to swap?

James

You need to add a ford badge to the centre of the grille.

Oh, and where abouts is the paint cracked? Is it at the join of the bulge to the bonnet, or at the back of the bulge?

yea its an old photo immediately after i got it back from the panel beaters. iv got a blue oval in the middle ;)

the paint has cracked just near the front of the bulge as it feathers down.

who wants it - relatively easy repair.

yeah, thanks mate...he got t-boned by a drunk running a red light...but drunkie hit the left hand side of the car - so he's okay.

oh yeah - vehicle update...he's decided to spend his insurance money on a BA fairmont ghia V8 with about 60,000K's. Nice decision i say - even though it's not an AU. he said buyin a newie was just too much extra cash on top of the insurance payout.
He's throwing about 6 grand on top of the insurance, should have some nice rims to go with the new ride. - i'll take pics if i can
