only thing is it has speed holes in the grill and its missing clear coat in places from a pressure washer.
its dirty from the dust storms.

thanks, but i found a nice bf xr boss bulge to fit the ef at kurnell kustoms.

I agree, do not sandblast as you will regret it later. better to use a good quality paint stripper, remember, you only need to strip where you are going to weld as the section under the bulge will be cut out and give yourself 50-75mm clean metal for welding. When I did Troymans Bonnet Bulge iI used gasless MIG 0.9mm wire and found this very effective. When you cut out the Bonnet use thin cutting wheels in a 4" grinder and don't force it through as you will cut the bonnet bracing, better to leave in place at this point. When you are happy with the cut out fit the bulge. I like about 0.5-1mm gap, you will understand why later. Then procced to tack weld the bonnet in, about every 25mm or so. when you have completed this you will find that all the gap has closed up, you may even need to open the gap before completing welding with the cut off wheel. When completly tacked and you are happy with the joints begine welding, only about 25mm at atime per side as it will generate to much heat. As you stager weld around the bonnet the previous sections will cool and allow you to continue, if you feel the bonnet is getting to hot, take a break and let it cool. do not cool down with water as this will cause buckling. If you blow a small hole, leave it and come back later when it is cool and just tack fill it. It is steel so there will be no issues. When fully welded and it comes to grinding the welds, TAKE YOUR TIME, to much grinding gereates heat and heat will buckle the bonnet, do a bit at a time, lightly all the way round till you are happy with the finish. When fully welded you can then cut out the Fairmont bracing and add the BA Bulge bracing if you have it, if not leave the Fairmont bracing in needs the strength, also if you cut out the bracing without replacing it is illegal. Good luck, if you need any further assistance give me a yell.
