Exactly, but them having a reaction means it's hit a nerve. The comment about it being a waste of a car? How? It's still more practical than a lot of cars as it's still an estate, it just has added roof storage. And 440W of light. And hazard beacons for roadside safety. Oh and nice wheels. And a big turbo. And stickers.
But it still does what a car should do :/
For today's shenanigans, I hadn't actually planned doing anything with the car. In fact I spent the day at Summerlee transport museum with the family and ended up getting more attention in the tank than anything else did in the museum, was a kids' fun day thing going on so the car went down well
We then went to visit the inlaws' house and erm, i started rummaging. Lured to the back of the shed by my old bianca ph3 bumper, with ideas in my head about how to modify it to fit the tank, I stumbled across something quite remarkable.
An old fence panel.
Annoyed by the constant rattling of the medi box bolted directly to the roof, I figured out a brilliant solution to end the noises once and for all. I also happened across some other random shite lying around that was free to a good home, and promptly made use of it.
Oh and then I found my leftover cans of paint, three black and three green. They were bundled in the back for some on the go touchups, and I had a marvellous idea yet again. Why bother cleaning the engine bay when I can just do this?
Got far too cold to finish so that's on the cards for tomorrow. But yeah, two problems solved for zero financial outlay. Result of a day!
