Lol... I know what you mean, I'm not going to remove them because I may change my mind at some point. At least this way I can just remove them and re fit the blades.

Decided to put the freshly painted wheel on the car today, as the back tyres are good and the fronts are shagged I thought I'd put the new one on the back and swap on of the backs to the front (still with me?), all went well until I got to the front wheel, all the bolts where stuck solid, after bashing them all with a large lump hammer to try and break their death grip I managed to undo thee (including the locking nut...which thankfully wasnt tight) the other two snapped...FFFFFFFFFF...etc.. Thankfully I managed to twist out the broken bits and fit new bolts. The wheel I removed has sadly a big dent in the back edge..this could be why it's got a slow leak (not sure as it's not a massive dent)... Not sure what to do now, is it worth repainting it or should I just get a replacement wheel?...
Pics to follow..
Anyone got two decent Comets (pref with tyres) that they wanna trade for a splitter?...

Well not done much this week...upto today, today I finally picked up the remaining plastic rivets for the bumper so tonight I've finally gotten around to removing the damn thing so I can repair it and repaint it (Sooo been wanting to do this since I got the car).
A quick before shot showing some of the crap on the front of the bumper, apparently someone reversed into the front of it at some point, hence the big split in the front edge and the scuffed paint.
Took me about 15 minutes to remove the bumper as someone had used the wrong rivets to attach the wheel arch liners (metal ones are sooo ugly), once I finally got it off and stripped it down I found this on the back of one of the corners... (I knew it was full of filler anyway)
You can also see that the corner had split as at some point someones hit something really low and it stuffed all the bottom corner in.

Bad times dude! I've wanted them on mine for a while, they are handy especially when you have to have the windows open due to a leaking exhaust!!

Well I got pretty far with it but sadly someone decided that I should be taking her to a party rather than painting my bumper so after priming it I had to put it back on the car. I thought it would stick out like a sore thumb having the front bumper in primer but tbh it doesnt look too bad, not as good as paint mind you but none the less, not bad..
Primed..
Test fitting wiper hole blanks..
Temporarily re fitted for taxi duties, gonna be Monday before I can get it done now..

Gawd I'm knackered, had a really busy day today. As I was up early I pulled the front bumper off and prepped it for paint, didn't take too long as I'd already done most of the groundwork last week. After about an hours work I managed to get it basecoated and laquered. Just as I was finished that my care package from James arrived, a replacement rad, intercooler,fan and aircon rad, also a replacement MAF, the rest of the day has been taken up with swapping bits over, had a major problem swapping the rad as the two mounting bolts that hold it in place got so far and then the captive nuts started to spin, I really struggled to get anything on them, finally managed to get the passenger side to snap off, the drivers side I had to break the radiator bracket off to give me enough room get at the captive nut. While the rad's where out I gave the chassis a clean up and then moved the horns, they now live under the N/s front wing. Not had chance to try it yet but it certainly sounds a lot healthier, just got to wait until tomorrow now to refit the front bumper as the paints still soft.
