Re: Summer Car
Ok, the car is in the garage, its the first time its been in there since the new garage doors were fitted and there was 1/2" clearance to the wing mirrors either side. The reason I got the car cheap some six years ago was at some point in its history the bonnet had been resprayed, but in some sort of dusty environment and contamination had got into the paint so, now I have two options, I I can prepare the bonnet and take it for professional respray or, 2, I purchased another bonnet (in Titan Silver) which could be taken to the paint shop as is and be colour changed. The beauty with this model is all the external panels are detachable, so can be sprayed in stages (from the same batch of paint of course.Re: Summer Car
It is funny that open cars are, or were, so popular in the UK where the weather is pretty poor yet in Australia where the weather, it has to be said, is better they are as rare as hen's teeth.Re: Summer Car
Bruce, I would never have a Ragtop as a main car, a bit like moving lock stock and barrel to the seaside because of fond childhood memories, becoming blase takes no time at all. Also, it is no fun cooking on the few odd days we have at 30+ degrees, but, an English spring or autumn morning, in the countryside, on your own, the sound of a Straight Six cylinder engine mixed with bird chatter from the hedgerows is divine.Thread Tools | |
