Another update as lockdown continues.

Firstly the bumper has always pissed me off. Whoever first cut the bumper for the Process West Intercooler, prior to my ownership of the car, made a proper balls up of it. It never fitted properly and cracked in several places as a result.

So today I cut it properly, repaired the cracks with a bit of plastic welding using my soldering iron. I've then filled and primed it. All I need now is to get hold of some paint but I'm still struggling to do that due to lock down. Happy with how much better it looks already because it was pretty buggered before I started.



Was dreading this next step as you have to be incredibly careful. One lapse of concentration and it costs you as I've already found out a couple of times
Flatting and polishing.
Scary stuff!!

Mission Success!!

No burn through thankfully.

One fresh paint job flattened and polished. I am amazed at just how well this has turned out considering I've done it in my garage with a £100 compressor. Going to seal the paint with some Wax next.​​​​​​
