Little update on today's work.

Spent most of the day flattening down the other parts ready for paint (front and rear bumper, side sideskirts, front lip, engine lid, engine sides, petrol cap and side vent) and thought I'd do the mirror caps too. Door mirrors - what a Pain in the arse they are!

Removing the mirrors from the doors is simple enough, but the caps?

Two screws underneath remove the mirror cap from the triange base. But then the wire won't pull through the triangle base without resorting to cutting the plug off. So, two more screws and you side cap is off the base. Pop the glass off, four screws hold the motor to the cap. Three more screws and you can possibly slide the motor out... No, wait... not enough room....

Turn the motor over, undo another screw, prize apart and finally you can get the motor out!



New windscreen is getting fitted next week (the old one was cracked), so in preparation, I thought I'd black the top of the dash.

led to this:


and whilst the satin black was out I did the windscreen trims too
