Tuesday - Part 1:
A bit of a frustrating start to the day, as there was yet more drizzle first thing in the morning.
Eventually, it was dry enough for me to start another round of small jobs.
Marked up the rear bonnet edge on the driver's side.
Before trimming it back and rounding off the edges.
At this point I just need something neat enough for the MOT & the final gap will be set before painting starts.
Double checked that I could still get access to all the rear lights with the plywood support panels in place.
In the end, I just had to adjust one jubilee clip, so I could still reach it with a screwdriver after the panel went in.
Then covered all the wiring so no stray bits of bonding paste would end up on the loom later on.
Trimmed the locating pin panel for the driver's side of the bonnet & fixed it into position.
By now I had jacked up the car and removed the wheel...
So I could stick my head inside the wheel arch and check the alignment of the panels.
As I still get flashbacks to the trauma of trying to get locating pins to work on the boot lid.
I also taped the closing panel for the body shell extension into position.
By now, the sky had got dark again, but I'd taken the precaution of not fully removing the covers, just providing access to both ends.
End of Part 1…
