brazed the rest of the right corner.
Positioned the hood flat for the next bit.
unfortunately the fuse blew on the compressor and I have no acces today, so no grinding with the small air grinders.

On to the next one.
Put some shape in a piece of steel using the E-Wheel. Next I layed it under the bad section and drew the holes on it.
After drilling the holes I bolted it on the hood.
Next I drilled 4 small holes on the edge of the Patch plate to fixatie it to the hood around the bad area.
Next I will cut out the rusted area, fixate the patch plate and draw the exact patch with the holes in the correct position.

next was the hinge position.
Started with a larger patch with the complete hinge shape.
although being a great exercise I Decided not to use it.

And fabbed this little piece.
The overall shape is ok but there are a number of large dents in the main surface and the sides have a number of tears with very thin metal. Not sure How to aproach that, replacing will lead to a lot more work in the shaping are.
