With the bonnet, repair a small hole, if it's too big, 2nd hand bonnets are relatively cheap and easy to get though your (nonstandard?) colour may present a slight problem. I've not seen a new one advertised anywhere, but then again, i've never looked for one!

Re: Newbie 72 Toledo owner (restoration project)
Thanks again Steve.
The colour it is at moment is not my cup of tea and is a pretty bad job. Which is a shame really as bodywork really isn't too bad. But looks like I'll be spending a few quid at some stage on a nice shiny paint job. Maybe a baby blue with a candy white roof. Not sure yet tho

That looks a great little project... Looking at those pictures the main bulk of your bodywork looks better than my Toledo!!!
I like the sound of your paint plans. Will you stick to BL colours or will you just pick whatever catches your eye?!
I cannot wait to see how this project progresses as it will probably help me get my posterior in gear and get my Toledo looking better...
