Slightly Cleaner

My daughter and I gave the car a quick wipe to remove the all the dust from the bodywork. After that I set about removing the seized brake drum (again!). Despite tightening up the puller as far as I could it still didn't move. So I've left the puller on and every day I'm dousing liberally with WD40. Still no progress...

I used this waiting time to run a vacuum cleaner through the interior. There were an astonishing number of cadbury's dairy milk wrappers in there (from the days when they only cost 35p) and the odd cream egg foil. So the previous owner had a sweet tooth.

I then set about the windows with a razor blade removing all the old sellotape. Normally this wouldn't take long, but for some reason this car had had several rolls worth applied over its lifetime - mainly on the front and rear windscreens. As you can see it looks much better.


Of course, cleaning is just busy work. I'll be happier when the drum is off and I can get down to some proper work.
