Saturday - Part 2:
Finally removing the newspaper from the dash was a little job that also lifted my spirits.





As did fitting the first aero screen.



In order to fit the other screen I had to find the new spare bracket I'd bought to replace the original one that broke.



As you can see the new one is slightly deeper at the base than the original and it expects a thinner fixing bolt.

So I had to spend ages opening up the holes in the new bracket until they were big enough to take the bolts I had.

I also put the bonnet straps on and the Union Jack badges too, starting with the driver's side.



And this is the passenger side, showing the second screen fitted too.



By this point it was starting to cloud over.



I just wasn't in the mood to take a chance with the weather, so the covers went back on and I swept up the leaves on the driveway instead.



Including the pile that had collected in the drip tray under the car.



I did get a chance to do a bit more in the afternoon, starting with cleaning up the holes for the bonnet locks.







This is the "open" position.



End of Part 2…
