Well another day

I had every intention of doing the power wash today. Managed about 7/8 of it. Very nerve wrecking drilling the washer bottle, but I did and it's spot on. I got a BMW seal which is fractionally too long but does fit. Alas the pump I bought is for a later BMW, and the outlet is ever so slightly different, so I've ordered the early version.

Noticed that it had a single horn fitted, do add the second.

As previously mentioned, the Scottish roads have not been kind to the car, and I think that most of the country's salt stock is under the car, as every liner is cover in it.

All the mild steel fixings are rotten, so they've been binned, and I've ordered up some zinc plated hex headed self tappers instead. (couldn't get stainless)

Hopefully with a dab of grease they should be easier to get out in the future.

I know ken did have a minor off in the car, and that a number of repairs were carried out. The lower "bib" return needs a bit of work as it's got a number of slits around the under tray fixing holes. Hopefully a strip of aluminium and tiger seal will restore its strength and stop the splits.

It's a V8 thing....
