I'm guessing Pottsy, that your assembly is going a tad quicker than mine too.
When we fitted the bonnet last week, the clumsy friggin painter dropped a hinge on the floor and chipped it.
The other hinge, when being tightened, showed up an issue that would require replacement.
On Monday, I found 2 chrome hinges on a 58 Lancer that had minor issues with pitting and the pins were shot.
Rebuilt both hinges and got them fitted yesterday with the help of a mate.
Rear bumper bar, all nicely painted flat black on the under side went on.
The left to right was wrong, too much fresh air on the left side.
On and off twice and now within 2mm of perfect and trust me, that's better than when they were new.
Paint the muffler in a heat proof aluminum colour (VHT) and whack that on.
Then piss around with the brackets and clamps to get the pipe poking out straight.
Day off today, not doing nuffin on the Austin today.... at all. Knees are rooted from this week.
I might though, give the front bumper bar a polish, then i'll mask it and paint the back of it.
Hmmm, a bit of fresh black on the mounting brackets couldn't hurt either.
I might slip up to Toowoomba and get some bits from Clarke Rubber for it too.
The Fleetwood needs to come out for a bucket of bubbles and a wipe over with a chamois.
Oh, the whitewalls, well, it would seem silly not to give them a touch up as well.
Think I might take a valium, grab a beer and sit down and watch Days of Our Lives.
