For once I got a clear, dry day to get on with some grafting and managed to split my time between the bus and the golf.
After having to cut the rear valance to fit the new exhausts, paint was needed to protect the cuts. Saying that though, the lower half of the valance wasn't in the best state anyway and had a couple of small holes, surface rust and scabs.

Treated myself to a new Makita Angle Grinder and put it to work. While I was at it I attacked the bumper which has seen better days and could one day do with being replaced.

Filled little holes and scabs with steel putty and then got busy with some satin hammerite. I have also given the silencers a quick blow over with high temp paint now the shipping stuff has burnt off, although the process wasn't photographed.
Will do the job for now.


Random shot, Golf was awoken while the paint dried.
