Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan

[funkyscooter]

Been a minute. Tinkering away but not much going on. Just making stuff shiny with a new bench top polisher that I got to complemnt/replace the angle polisher set up I made which was pretty loud when running.
Bought some stainless coach bolts to replace the chrome ones in the bumpers. Getting imperial in stainless is next to impossible from where I have searched on the internet, so metric it is. M8 and M10 for the rears.
First polish - straight out of the packet at the bottom and polished holding the bolt precariously by hand

Second Attempt. Got smart and put the bolt in a drill. Results and pretty good, initial polish on the left, drill on the right. Take a couple of minutes per bolt.

Not when it comes to storing pool fencing

Nothing broken? Clever. Otherwise, unlucky…….

Too true!

Discovered the hard way that a tiny slope, gravity and roughly 400kg of glass strapped down with the help of 3D printed brackets is not the ideal way to store it.

Lasted 8 week in wind and rain then decided to fall over on a calm afternoon. Maybe my regular shaking to make sure everything was still tight was not the smartest idea.

On the plus side - the cost of glass has dropped (pun intended) over the last 14 years so it is relatively cheap to replace.

Just need to get this deck done then back onto the car.... been a slow winter.
