Because I was bored.
This thread/posts will be about the jobs I did on the car because I was bored, please feel free to add your silly or good jobs you did because you were bored Cleared the drain holes below the front screen wipers 1 2 3 Removed the wiper cap which would be for a left hand drive car, they had stated to fade. 4 5 Gave them a quick rub over. 6 Primed them. 7 Sprayed them black & refitted them 8 9 Keep looking in to see what other boring things I will be doing, or to see what others have done, I wonder how bored I will get today in my isolation pod.

Haven't done anything to my car, since my viral Pneumonia still hasn't fully cleared.

thanks Arctic I'll go check my holes.
As I have the car in the air doing front end work I got under the rear sub frame and replaced the 4 large "washers" around the sub frame bolts with ones I've cleaned and painted. The ones I removed once cleaned and painted will serve again at some point macafee2 |

Washed my car today for the first time. Then used Williams waterless wash with cabana wax and polished it within an inch of its life.
I usually go down the Cosovan route who do a good job but decided to do it myself. The down side is you find every tiny chip or scratch you didnt know existed. |
