Open or can be removed...?

Roadrunner is right its not an opening one, but it is separate to the body so should be able to be removed to get to the tank/wiring etc.

BUT it all depends how it was built - every buggy is built differently and so who knows how it was fixed down by the builder, typically look for self tapping screws in the wheel arches at the front and may be bolts towards the back/top in the footwells. And hope they didn't "glue" it down with glass etc.

You will need to remove the windowscreen too, as the window screen bolts sandwich the bonnet between the screen pillars and the dashboard frame.
