WorldClassAccident is on a distinguished road

I decided to fix the screen wash this weekend so I glued half a screen wash pipe connector to the snapped bit


To make it easier to fit and reduce the risk of snapping again I added a short connector. The heat gun made the cold pipe all warm and flexible


and fitted


Clearly after such an extensive piece of work I needed to take it for a shake down run. Off to Lyndhurst to see what the rest of the world is driving


Must paint the remaining wheels black


and sort out the proper grille


Does it look out of place?


Quick look around the New Forest





I decided the paint could be improved. Well, after my last spraying I don't think it could get worse.

First, duck tape some wet and dry to a cheap polisher, then sand/polish the bonnet, then realise you will need another sheet of wet and dry




It doesn't get rid of the blotchyness caused by my terrible thin paint spraying but there is definately the potential to shine



That is enough encouragement for me to take the time to give it another coat of paint and try to do it properly this time.
