Odd Sunday:
Due to a variety of reasons, I had the chance to rack up some billable hours today, so the car work was sidelined a bit.

However, I made an earlier start by moving the bonnet and boot lid out of the Summerhouse and wiping them both down before 9am.





Then I started 'real work' while I left them to evaporate fully and got some more high build primer on mid-morning.

A second (and final) coat on the boot lid, although not much difference to see in the photo.





Whereas, you can definitely spot the difference after the first (and only) coat on the inside of the bonnet.





I must confess, I really like the 'honest', warts and all, nature of the inside of the bonnet.

I left all that drying while I went back to my laptop.

Unfortunately, there was just time for me to do one other job today and that was to start preparing for jacking up the car.

So I pulled some of my recycled timbers out from behind the summerhouse and gave them a quick trim.



The bottom ones were old roof joists from a local loft conversion and they are firmly nailed together.

So that was it for today, cheers, Paul.
