A Milestone

Sunday was the first sunny weekend day in nearly a month. It took about two hours to remove the bonnet and the right front wing. With help from Debbie the bonnet was easy to remove. 5 bolts with the air ratchet (one is missing) and we lifted it off. The bonnet is heavier than it looks. Might be full of bondo. Most of the bomb is.

The wing was not so easy. There are three bolts along the back of the wing that can be reached through a small access hole at the back of the engine compartment. Not impossible, but it has to be done blind. As always, the bolts that are hardest to reach are the most rusted. It might also be possible to remove that splash guard first and then get at the bolts from there. I think that would have been harder. The wing was hiding significant rust damage. Figures.
