Mr T - It certainly sounded like he loved driving the car more than he worried about the paintwork.

Baby Steps Forward:
There was only a small chunk of time available for car work today.
So I did a little test on one of the runs in the high build primer.
Which is a bit easier to see after the first round of sanding.
It was a mistake to use my long board for this, as I often missed the run itself & therefore sanded too deep.
Still, I am definitely living and learning!
Next I sanded down the stopper putty from the front of the scuttle.
My second mistake of the evening was to get my tape measure out to double check the bonnet lock locations.
After a lot of wasted time, I decided the rear view mirror was going to be my centre line.
Which quickly reminded me that the wind deflector screen is not centred around the mirror.
As that screen actually sits equally between the Brooklands screens.
Which in turn align with the aero humps which are in different locations for driver and passenger.
So this is the final resting place for the bonnet locks, well at least for today.
You can clearly see one spot on the bonnet where I made a mess trying to touch up a thin spot in the paint.
( Just behind the tear drop bulge. )
But the reflection of the sky in the tear drop itself does give me hope.
Thankfully, I had the covers on before the heaven opened once more.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
