Kinda failed, but still had a good weekend.
Been a busy weekend.
Out for dinner, loads done with Sally, and also on the carport frame.
This afternoon I made some chilli oil, using 8 scotch bonnet chillis finely sliced and added to a litre of oil
This will get to steep for a while and get better with time.
Then down to the garage for a bit at 2.30-ish.
The Cortina dash lip fell off in my hand when I tested it.
Pretty rotten, and not looking great.
HOWEVER....... I really like it and will be reinstating it once I figure out the best way to do it.
All of the mounting bolts, which were moulded into the rear, were rusted away significantly
Next up I tried to undo the passenger side mirror, reaching up inside the A-pillar
Had to escalate the process and remove some stainless tabs used to hold the kick panels in place.
Ultimately I broke out the grinder to clean up the rusted studs broken off on the dash, and to remove the ones keeping the stainless tabs that were in the way for trying to get to the mirrors.
Result.
Ultimately I did not get the mirrors off]
They are fixed up the A pillar, And I had a walking date with Sally, so packed up tools by 4.00pm
Next time the mirrors will hopefully come off.
Looking up the A-pillar, circled where the mirror bolts are.
The angle iron is part of the window frame support.

Weekend over, again.
