Funny you should mention that, Carter. Me too. I feel like a turtle when
I'm moving that thing around for sandblasting, etc. I'd put the weight of
my Mk3 bonnet to be somewhere between 50lbs to 70lbs. I'm not that strong,
but I can lift it up by the headlight openings to move it out of the way in
my garage (have it standing up).
Take care,

I can lift and carry a bonnet, so it can't be too much
over 100 lbs.
(I stand it up, walk 'inside' it, grab the reinforcing
tubes on each side, and lift)
