Barber - In fairness, I'm pretty much faster at everything else when compared to car building.

New Cover:
It was late afternoon by the time the rain finally stopped and I could try out the new car cover that had arrived yesterday.
The old one was really falling apart.
But it was still able to do its main job, which was hold the heavy duty tarpaulin in place.
( Which is what actually keeps the water out. )
The next layer is my "back up" tarpaulin, which doesn't really serve any purpose.
( This wasn't really up to the job, which is why I ended up with the heavy duty version. )
Anyway, with the car finally revealed...
I checked the sky…
And took a chance to go for a very quick spin around the block.
I don't think the car likes the wet weather as it was initially popping & banging all over the place.
Eventually all 4 cylinders were firing properly, just in time for me to park up again.
At some point I need to modify my wooden tonneau covers again, as the steering wheel is now in the way.
( Whereas, previously, I was able to remove the wheel before putting the covers on. )
This is what the new cover looks like on.
If it does exactly what it says on the tin, then that will make my life much easier will just one cover instead of three.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
