I Only Wanted The Wheels.... by 72clubman

4 minute(s) of a 153 minute read

So As a reward I decided to treat the old girl. 

hmmm where's all the front end gone...

Ahh now it makes sense! 

Spent over an hour trying to get an indictor working hence why it's so dark!

I had voltage and earth at the holder and a working bulb but nothing!

Gave up and went to have dinner, when we came back we still couldn't work it out, then it magically started working! Bloody car.

My dad also decided to have a tinker as the non functioning courtesy lights drove him mental! 

He found out why though! 

He also replaced my heater with a refurbished one. No more rattles! and it gets seriously warm now! 

Not my first choice of colour as it's a bit jazzy but I'll take it.

& as it sits now after the bomb back. Drives bloody beautifully! 

Haha the battle scarred look is nice but it was looking especially crappy! 

The new heater has made such a difference. it's had all new internals as well. The lack of rattles is amazing. I was going to paint it but the red's been done really well.

So I'm in a good mood so I spent this evening with cutting compound! There was quite a bit of overspray so the bonnet was pretty matted as was the wings. 

As you can see in this picture.

So after an hour of cutting and buffing. (yes my arm is currently on fire) this is the result.  

I'm getting better at this painting malarkey!

I also saw a pretty car on my way home, can't resist a photo.

Thankyou :) It came out better than expected! 

It's amazing what you can do with a spray can. (or two)

I did think that too! But thought going in and asking them to move would have been a little much! haha

Oh I did take one without the modern cars! 

Sadly it meant losing the pub!
