A few little bits done today, mainly just cleaning up and refurbing stuff but it needs doing none the less.

Last time home I noticed a fixing on the grille was broken so the grille was removed, repaired, cleaned up and refitted.


Only a minor job but needed doing, grille badge


The big hole where the strut brace used to be needs a plate welding in with an inspection cover so I can get to the wiper arm and linkage.

The hole..


The template... This will be welded soon when I have the inspection cover.


Next up the radiator brackets need some paint, I rubbed them down and masked them up ready to paint.


And painted.


And back on the car.


Next up the airbox needed some attention, its difficult to see but it had blemishes and scratches everywhere. A quick rub down and its ready for paint.


And painted


Now its the wiper motors turn, no before picture on this one but here it is after the black paint is complete, I will refresh the silver part tomorrow.



Next up, I had some window trim missing on each door around the door mirrors, fortunately I managed to track some second hand pieces down, they just needed fettling.



Unfortunately the paint got damaged on this side but I will deal with this later.


The trim pieces..


I'll paint the trim pieces tomorrow.
