The hinges on Ade's minus are a combination of kitchen cupboard hinges and heavy duty gate hinges welded together. The biggest problem is that to open forwards the bonnet has to lift up first and then hinge forward. Definately not the easiest job i've ever done and we had the advantage of no engine so we could climb into the engine bay to align it all correctly.
