The temperature in the garage last night was about 3° at 8.45 pm. The copper slip grease was pretty hard and reasonably unpleasant to apply with ones fingers. I’m not really sure why I applied it, I do not serious expect to be taking the bumper off again in the life of the car. But, then again, who knows what the futures holds. Not me clearly. All bolted up, but I had to leave the brackets loose to see how fitted, the holes are slotted and so the bracket can be adjusted left and right to sit the bumper centrally on the car. So this was one of those, do it twice jobs, fit, check, take off, tighten brackets, refit and see how it goes. A bit of back to black applied to the bumper to turn it from it’s usual grey to a shinier black for the photo. Shame […]
I painted the steel parts from the bumper last night. Let them dry over night and then fit them the day after, though the over night temperature was probably not really above zero the paint did set hard enough to be handled with care.
