Sweaty Tuesday - Part 4:
Now that I was happy that bonding paste was the answer, I taped up the "missing" areas.
Having opened the bonnet to test the fit of the grille, I realised it also provided a shady area to work in.
So, just like before, bonding paste on.
Masking tape off.
Now just before I started this job, the rest of the family begged for a meal out down the pub in the sunshine.
Which reminded my of my
Ice Cold In Wembley post the last time I was working on the car in 90+ degree heat.
When I went back to look for the photo above, I discovered it was almost exactly 2 years ago (18/07/14).
( Just after I'd cut the whole back end of the body shell in half. )
To be honest, despite taking on over 3 litres of fluids during the day I was actually toast by this point anyway.
So, once again the passenger "seat" was filled with lots of car building related stuff.
And the dust sheets.
I also threw in the wooden tonneau cover while I was at it.
As this normally rests against the scuttle wind deflector, which I've just painted.
So, at some point, I need to build a new tonneau that will fit around the Brookland aero screens.
( Just to stop the rain filling the covers
inside the cockpit. )
Anyway, I've just got back from the pub, where two, well earned, cold pints really hit the spot.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
