106 NAD Progress not Project

[Dum-Dum]

Right I finished servicing the car today, did the oil, oil filter and fuel filter and made a new intake pipe as mine had collapsed and it now actually accelerates. The difference is amazing.

The bleed nipple for the fuel pump is on top of the filter housing and in trying to bleed it up a was holding a cloth on top of it to stop too much fuel escaping but still let the air out, anyway it turns out i was pressing a little hard and when i moved my thumb i sent a rather impressive fountain of diesel and air 10ft into the air.


I also started sanding and painting the bonnet (red hammerite FTMFW)
   
   





I stupidly made the mistake of deciding to paint the small patches of rust in the boot, anyway it turns out the boot floor is hardly attached at the sides. These pictures dont show really how bad it is as id only cleaned up the inside at this point. Now ive done the outside bits it looks really bad. Im gonna get some more pics and have to plate it tomorrow.

Got a load of hammerite, waxoyl and red oxide primer to keep any further corrosion at bay.
