im boxing the speakers mike. Dont worry, the doorss are safe im very happy with the car. only ooooone oproblem, still cant get the bonnet open.... The release latch in the caris too loose, anyone have aaaaaaaany suggestions as to how i can get the little sucker open?

wats the engine specs?

Odd are that the catch on the front panel is stiff as.... You'll only end up snapping the cable if you heave ho too much. Get another person to press down on the bonnet above the catch (not denting pressure ) and try the cable pull again. If this fails then get some long nose pliers and grip the actual cable under the dash and repeat the process. The idea is that the second person takes the friction of the catch and makes it easier to pull.

If you do manage to open it CRC and then oil the catch, working it until it's freely moving. When you're happy that it is, wipe/blow off the oil and then white grease it. It would also pay you to detach the cable and elevate it to a height where you can slowly drip oil sown into the outer casing. Might need to do that overnight. I know that the best lubricant is graphite but good luck trying to get it in
