The car -a work in progress

Day -4 - 14 August 2008 - 8.15pm

Work begins on the car with only 24 hours to go before we set off. We cover everything important (windscreens, lights, mirrors) with paper and get to work changing the colour to gunmetal grey ...



It begins to get very difficult to see in the gloom - is it grey yet?
The old badges, surgically removed.

Light fails in 9pm. It still looks a bit red by torchlight. I am reminded of Adrian Mole's first diary when he painted his room gothic black, but the Noddy bells still showed through .... plus, we have run out of paint. We'll get more tomorrow, perhaps ... our ferry leaves at 2345
