The Protech shelter looks rally good, and at a very good price!

Untill my Garage is finished (June) I need to protect the paint on my car (quite sunny here), so I orderd an Auto Storm Classic cover, to arrive at the same time as the car.

Yes please, lots of pics!

Another thing I did on my headlamps was that I bought bowls made from black plastic. Will not rust.

The front grill is quite easy to dismantle. I took it to pieces, replaced the tube spacers with new ones I made, and painted the pieces individually.

One thing I learned is that in the area where the sheet aluminium attaches to the inner wings (just under the edge of the bonnet) a very common fault is that people fill the join between the wing panel and inner-wing panel. (I hope this makes sense?) so it is smooth. You should be able to see the overlap.
