Shiny

Rear trunk emblem... on!

Firstly, here is the old one:



Chrome surround is ok, but the plastic insert is broken into several pieces, crazed and the colours faded.

Now for the new:



Who would have thought there were red bars either side of the Chev bowtie!

Comparison...




And one final shot:



Each time something new goes on the car, it makes it look a *lot* better... as well as highlighting worn/scratched parts around it. Now the paint chipping around the boot lock stand out that little bit more.

An Open Door Policy

Joe is back and today's mission was to open the LHR door...


Easy!

The latch return spring was stuck, so a quick spray of WD40 did the trick.


Next, boot latch adjustment. One of the bolts was stripped so time to find a replacement...



The result? A much better boot fit...




Last task for the day, start hunting down the source of the exhaust leak (leaks?). Off  came the exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe connection and out came the heat riser valve...




Time to source a heat riser gasket and a couple of exhaust flange donuts.

The list is getting shorter!
