I'm new to restoration but my 560D at one time had a turbo. The previous owner removed it and now I want to fill that unwanted hole in my hood. Is there some kind of repair kit for these. I want to make this restoration perfect. Should I just try to find another hood or repair this one. The hole is the only defect in the hood. Lance

Just remember it depends, primarily, upon what you wish to achieve. If you desire show-quality results, do not let someone convince you that bondo is the answer---you will nees to replace the hood unless someone's welding abilities can result in a finish which is flawless on top as well as underneath....food for thought.

You will need to "hammer weld" a new piece in that hole. Start by getting piece of new steel same thickness as hood. Cut a square larger than the hole. Lay it on the under side and shape it to fit the curve of the hood, if any. Now lay the piece in there from underneath and use a sharp scribe to outline the hole from the top. Make a couple of index lines so you get it back in the right position. Cut it out with bandsaw. Now take the hood and the patch to good body shop where they have a guy that can hammer weld it in. Just tell him you want it ready for filling. It will need a little grinding with 40 grit flap wheel. If you don't know how to use bondo and primer, here is the simplest task for that you will ever get, so go ahead and do that yourself.

Good Luck, Gordo

Depends on your skills, if you are good with a torch, that may be the way to go. As for as covering the plate, you might consider sanding it good, and filling with JB Weld, then fill the defects in the JB Weld with body filler, fill the resulting pinholes with some sort of putty, sand thorougly, then use epoxy primer followed by surfacer. I use JB Weld on things that appear to me to be too deep for body filler, as it "should" be more durable and less likely to crack than body filler. In any event, get the rough places as smooth and free of defects as possible before applying anything, and keep the resulting coat thin.

The only way is to weld or braze a new piece of sheet metal into that hole. Might be easier to weld the repair onto the underside and then fill with bondo or a similar product. This might also be the job for an experienced body and fender man.
