Lazy afternoon spent cleaning the roof lining
Kenco "Shift it" and scrubbing brush.
Although it came out of the Adelaide FB
I'm hoping I can put it in this one. Looks like I might have to replace the back two panels. :ewink:
If I have to do it myself there a post in here about doing just that. :thumbsup:

Had a problem removing the Bonnet Bar off this bonnet, the captured nut
was spinning and I could not get the bloody thing off so I took it to Russell.... :?
So to get it off we had to cut the bonnet.

Only a NOS, Nasco, Bathurst GTS Monaro, SLR5000 in "Pyramid Coral" so it's not a great loss... :twisted:

On ya Rusty!.... :thumbsup:

While Rusty's has my FB at his place for painting
I've been busy doing little bits for when it comes back.
This is one of them, restoring the headlight buckets.... :ebiggrin:

So we have to clean these I guess.. :shock:

Image

Here we go 400 wet and dry and a bucket....scrub and rub... :wtf:

Image

Some peanut painted the leads, some people are lazy... :think:

Image

Image

Image

Image

I read somewhere if you place rubber bits in a bag with WD40 it makes them more supple.... :problem:

Image

Finnito!..... :wave:

Cheers :ebiggrin:
