I set out today to do some little bits and bobs as I didn't have much time this weekend. I drove it out and turned it round first so that I could work on the other side of the car. First thing was the missing bit of trim on the wing, no real drama there. Next was a few adjustments to the trunk lock to get it to sit a little better. Unfortunately I managed to chip the edge of the paint while I was doing it. Yet another battle scar, and it's not on the road!. I was running out of time so I decided to put the battery hold down that my mate John gave me.

I think I must be getting the hot-rod bug as I decided it wasn't pretty enough despite the fact it will ultimately be covered over. I made a cardboard template for the rough shape that I wanted and folded it to get the correct length. Once that was done, I transferred it to a strip of aluminium and started to fold it up. After a lot of careful checking and re-shaping I rounded off the corners and sanded the scratches out before giving it a quick polish. Two stainless bolts and the battery isn't going anywhere. It will have an MDF cover over the whole thing so I don't lose any trunk space. Another little job off the list.
