Sunday - Part 2:
I was tempted to just abandon the car for the rest of the day, as the grille problems were getting me down.
But I gave myself a good talking to and went back out to at least finish a few small jobs.
So I wrapped up the front indicator connectors and then zip tied all the wiring into place.
( Double checking there was enough slack to open/close the bonnet. )

Then I retired to the bottom of the garden to start working on some 'washers' for the rear lights.
First step was to cut out some rough circles.
Then set up my 'work bench' ready for drilling.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a hole saw drill bit the right size.
So I cut the hole smaller and then enlarged it with a hand file.
The plan is that the metal of the light fitting will hold the light in place on the sunny side of the body shell.
Then I will use the washer on the inside of the body shell to form a 'sandwich' either side of the hole.
As I fear the fixing holes will be too close to the hole for the rubber around the light and they may break.
I still need to drill some holes in this washer and tidy up all the edges, before repeating this three more times.
However, that will be a job for another day.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
