Sometimes I get just an hour spare after tea. The nice thing about these vehicles is that there’s always some little job you can do even in a short space of time.
I have acquired a very nice repaired front panel from Ebay which I will fit later. The seller kindly included the bonnet catch so the other day I cleaned it up and sprayed it silver and chrome effect and put it away for later. A very well-spent hour!
I remember that these can be quite troublesome so I will keep it well greased and keep the old one as a spare.

Very nice outcome!
Though I suspect that this type of chrome paint won’t last that much and will start to peel – at least that’s my previous experience…
