Caesar the 1275 E - Diary of minor changes

Slow and steady dude! I like it!

Yeah, still keen to see what you have planned for the epic engine builds.

So yesterday I decided to paint the rocker cover with VHT wrinkle paint, I followed the instructions and it didn't work Feeling very sad and disheartened, I just left the rather ugly looking rocker cover and decided to tackle other jobs that needed doing.

Firstly, the engine steady bushes needed urgent replacement. So I removed the old bushes, cleaned and painted the steady in black and fitted new poly bushes that I'd gotten quite a while back.





Also needed to renew parts of the wiper system. So first job was to remove all the old parts, and to remove the inner bushes on the wiper arm, it made sense to remove the entire motor system. Hence that came off. I didn't have any silver paint to paint it again, but I did paint clean and paint the bracket in black and wirebrush the motor to remove a lot of the surface rust and make it look a little nicer.

After fitting new bushes, I fitted new washer jets and new wiper blades too



Now, we've been having a serious water shortage in the Western Cape as of late and it's illegal to wash a car. Fortunately the little bit of rain that has fallen had kind of cleaned the surface. I took a container of polish and gave the paintwork a good buffing. It's nice that the paint looks a bit shinier.
