Damian thought that he should keep making slow and steady progress so that when esCarpade races around, he won't be!
First up - bit of Sikaflex to hold the cable conduit down the side of the windscreen...
Then there's something missing from this picture...
That's right - Bluey has had its Safety Certificate inspection and is now registered! This should make it a bit easier to drive around to get bits and pieces sorted out...
There's even one for the back...
Time to dismantle the rooftop pod ready for re-theming...
Bye Giggle... see you again soon! Interestingly, look how much the colour has faded (the green circle was underneath the amber rotator).
Give it all a good sanding...
Time to try some new wheel colours... this blue looks pretty good!
Probably not as different as hoped, but still not a bad colour!
Black undercoat/primer on the rooftop pod... coat one!
Retro Rock-It literally and figuratively out to pasture...
The engine bash plate from Retro Rock-It... the theory for buying another car the same shape was that all these things could be unbolted from one car and bolted onto the other...
Except it turns out that the holes to mount it need to be drilled out and have some captive nuts inserted into them... And some need to be drilled in the first place!! Still, at least the plate is the right size and shape!
So that's how Damian's weekend panned out - slowly making progress while waiting for Hoges to come around for the next working bee in July.
Oh yeah, and exciting news... the boys' fundraising total has now reached an amazing
$11952
Thanks to some amazing donations received... This is more than halfway to the boys' $20000 fundraising goal!
