Bank Holiday Monday
Another day where family came first, and as always, I've no problem with that.
Got some paint on the other side of the exhaust support bracket.
Plus the other side of the wheel arch spacers & one side of the chassis bolt spacers.
I did manage to pick up a new drill bit this morning, so I will add bolt holes in these at some point.
I only had limited time available to start one other job, so I picked the wheel arch / lowering block cover.
I cut the "cover" section out.
I then cut a section out from one of my lowered floor pan off cuts.
Unfortunately, this was not quite long enough to wrap all the way around the cover.
So I bend it around as best I could, knowing I would need a final "patch".
Then I welded the top of the cover to the new "side" section.
Then welded that to the bottom sections.
Then I was just left with a small patch to fill in the hole.
When that was welded in the cover looked like this.
In my defence, it was very windy outside today and that didn't help my welding at all.
Just had enough time to get some etch primer on this.
I will smoother this mess with some filler which will make it look a bit nicer.
Then it was time for a family BBQ, just the four of us for a change.
Although the fact one of our neighbours was using a "slash & burn" technique to clear their garden didn't help.
In fact, the time I spend outdoors to day counts as the equivalent of a 60 a day habit.
Take care, Paul.
