Another hinged bonnet conversion.

Hi all.

Thought I would pop up some photos of the Tuscan's new lift-up bonnet I have just had done. Cap doffed to Mick Oliver who did the conversion; some may recognise the name as ex-bodyshop manager for Harrogate Horseless Carriages.

Now's the time to start looking into tidying up the engine bay, unfortunately like many Tuscans it's not as shiny as it should be under there. Plans are to tidy up the engine bay when the engine gets rebuilt in May.

To anyone looking at hinged bonnets, I highly recommend the work done by Mick.

Do you have his contact info?

Hi Rob

Thanks, turns out the Nitrons need a refurb which I suspected and they should be back this week, had new fuel tank as it had a small hole, changed the wipers to leven much better than the crap Citroen ones, in a couple of weeks time the seats are coming out for a clean and give interior a complete clean up, then wheels off for a refurb, roof and A piller will get a respray then she will be looking really nice, just like my Griff. I will phone and get a price, took bonnet off the other week what a faff

Just had a look at the Leven wipers myself actually, the standard wipers are truly terrible.

S6, based in Yorkshire, so probably won't be much help to you...

And another

There is the company next door to Dave the trimmer that does them ( tvr powers bodyworks) in Milton Keynes, they charge £300 all in....

Hi , We charge a bit more than that Gordon and I thought you were booked in for the conversion with us

and another one ...

Uhh good question. I think a number of conversions recently have hinges which lay inside the engine bay next to the radiator.

Not sure if there are any benefits of one method over another.
