Since I owned the car the underside of the bonnet had some scorching to the paint. I’ve since found out this was an engine bay fire caused by leaking power steering fluid.

It was time to sort it with some left over paint I had. Prepped and sanded, primer and paint. Happy with the result and finally it’s no longer crispy.

Next up is the Aux belt and squeaky tensioner. I need to source one and then get them fitted. Awkward as this has had the AC removed. Obsolete at Ford now too

Excellent work as always.

Went to a barn dance there, many many moons ago!
Used to live quite near there.

Quick update here.

Replaced a few random parts which were not in good enough condition.

- Passenger rear light cluster
- tailgate rubber
- PAS reservoir rubbers
- few engine bay clips.

Attended our local charity car show. Was a good day! And found a friend
