Prepare the way...

In preparation for tommorrow's paint-a-thon on the cab floor, I popped up today to take the paint and equipment up as well as to do some odd jobs.

First job was to wash the battery tray out with some water and washing up liquid (which is slightly alkaline) to ensure that any acid remnants are gone before being covered with paint! After a good slosh around with fresh water to rinse, I've left this over night to dry....



Then I straightened out the seat box fully to ensure the seat base sits properly when it goes back on. Tony had done most of this down in Suffolk (it was a bit knarled when we got it) but there were a few dings still to tease out:

That done, it was time to give the chrome at the front a polish and much better it looks too although a coat of Colinite when it's washed will improve it still further!


Hopefully some painting news tomorrow!
