Yep, the boss is away and we're fairly quiet so I've been finishing off the Eldo.

She's all T-Cutted . . . and Over half polished (so far) . . . . I should've cleaned her first but hey-ho . . . she looks ALOT better - you can see reflections !!!

(just)

Anyway . . . depending on how time goes I'm gonna remove the rotten wood from the carriage rails on the trunk . . . then have a go at fabricating some bits I need to tidy the back up.



Busy day . . . . . And I managed to fit in watching Rocky Balboa earlier, too.

On work time !!!

It's not the same.  In my time I break 'em and fix 'em - on work time anything's fair game !

Yeah, cool ain't it ? - That said when we're busy we are BUSY.  Friday's are notoriously mad . . . . but so far it's looking quiet . . . .



Which means it'll all flood in at 11am (our absolute latest cut-off point !)

Well.

She's all T-Cutted AND polished.

I even managed to clean and polish the S/S lower trim and Bumpers (would you believe both the lower trims and bumpers are in exceptional condition - I was truly surprised).

I also scrubbed the crappy tyres . . . you can see the white bands again . . . . . . . for now . . . . .

Finally I removed the rotten pieces of Hardwood on the carriage rails/luggage rack.  Then polished up the S/S base pieces . . . . . . . . It looks much better that way, IMO, so I won't be replacing the wood.



Not perfect . . . but a hell of a lot better.

Pics will follow.

Polishing does that to most cars, not that RK would know
