Canada Day Well Spent

Judy and I put the bonnet back on the car. It looks so nice having it back on and freeing up some room in the garage.

Also, the interior is now back in the car. I had to trim the panels over the wheel arches a bit to get them to fit but they look great. It cost less than $100 to buy the material; it would have cost close to $500 to buy them.

My paint job did have some orange peel. Using rubbing compound and polish, the worst of the orange peel is removed. With a coat of wax the finish looks pretty darn good; both Judy and I are happy with the results.

The rubber bumper covers also got a coat of bumper paint over the weekend and look nice and black.

A couple weeks ago, I made quite the find at Obsolete Automotive. I was up there late on a Friday needing a used part. I went up stairs with Jeff to help him look and I found a rubber bumper Spitfire spoiler. These were only used on 79 and 80 cars and are almost always missing. I was also surprised at the mass of used parts there is upstairs, I couldn't believe all the parts.
