It's probably not the best way to attack things to be honest , doing it that way will involve a lot more welding than doing just one patch.
I'm guessing you don't have a lot in the way of metalshaping gear, how much experience do you have ?
I own a resto shop, and have experience with those bonnets , if your not carefull you could make the situation worse, post a picture of the rust when you have bare metalled it, and I'll try and advise you on the best way to fix it.

here is where I got to today.
I think the bonnet for me is going to end up with a pro. The under side is shitty right on the where the 2 top skin and frame meet together.
I just don't have the tools or understanding to do a good job. I'll likely never find another bonnet so I better do it right. A few more pics.

bonnet was bog city

seam above the rear wheel where the back joins on to the rest of the car

Buff the shit out of springs make it look ok for WOF man .

few pin holes here but found some bronz to. Could be factory ?

Bronze wont be factory , looks like a previous repair, keep up the good work

Glad I'm not the only one who always seems to find bronze used for repairs from back in the day.

Nice to see this is still around and getting some love, it's definitely one of the nicest condition 330's I've seen.

yea i'm getting scared but. Id say all the doors have just been filled and not repaired. I'm right on the cusp of deciding to wizz all the doors down on the bottom 1/4 just to see what exactly went on.
The one thing I do know is the filler /bog is this white stuff it's amazing. It's held really well and its very strong unlike that pink crap.

Whats the best filler going around these days ? Things have changed since I last chicken wired a wheel well into a escort when I was 15. HAha

Been working fairly constantly since the last update. I can sort of see this starting to come together now.
Been busy with rust. It's been ok. Just a few bits that have been a bit tuff but mostly its all real fiddly little bits.
under is not bad enough for media blasting. so it's buff clean and primer. Hard work on my back.

It's all just been sorting stuff best I can like I removed 1 m of fuel line from the car because the fuel pump was installed backwards. Weird


sitting on a A4 paper


remaking this was not fun a few attempts


both corners all had to be remade. All double skin and it's as good as I could hope for


new longer wheel studs. Thankfully I didn't have to remove axels out of backing plates they only just slide in.

still not straight yet. but you get where this is all going. It's off soon for the bonnet rust and some painting soon. Finding blocking the panels a dog I fill it then sand it all out. Cant get the hang of it.

Oooosh. Those rims will look mint. The rust is not a lot which is great news too. Keep it up,

Yeah it's not bad at all. It was just a cover up with bog job that got us threw to this point. Fairly lucky really H330's are right up there with Crowns I reckon

The rusty's of rusty's

I fully hear you, had a go at my 1200 for a couple of weeks, apart from polished metal and bog splatter you can't tell I even started, think I need some tuition.
