ive seen worse

Yer darn tootin'

There's salvageable panels there, surely - wait... no there isn't...

There's not a usefull panel on it, but the headlight rims are OK & it might be good for a few doorhandles. The head has been off for a while, so the engine is shot.
It might be good for some driveline parts. I found a worse one in a similar setting, so will try for pictures of it too.

Well Thats one way to get a bonnet open

A lesson learnt, big tress hurt!!
Pretty cool how it shows the factory spot welds on the bonnet, never really thought of it like that but thats a great model/diagram to show how tis done....Only me interested?!

Nah me too, I think its a cool pic for the same reason. Only they arent spot welds, just caulking marks.( basically glue)
The reason being, if a large panel like a bonnet was spot welded through the middle, you wouldnt want to park the car in the sun. As it heats up, the panel needs to expand a little and spot welds would hold it too tight and ripples would show up in the bonnet. The caulking fixes this problem by holding the panel stiff but still allowing enough flex to prevent any distortion.
