Drove it into the garage and I sprayed the bonnet lip with hammerite to tidy it up then attcked the front bumpers. Hoover out and a wipe down inside next once the paint dry`s it still wet here that annoying rain thats like a fine spray soaks everything . Getting it sort of presentable for a scottish vauxhall owners meet on sunday.
Domino if your reading this i want no complaints about the rusty spots on sunday or about it needing polished :)

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by jason on Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:51 pm
I thought today that I would put the towbar electrics onto the bumper! I thought it would be soooo easy to do - simple job - but when I stripped it off the electrics had melted!! (Tow and caravan electrics).
I got the caravan electric plug done fine - eventually - but the tailgate electric point was a nightmare!!!!!!
Still cannot get it right - all the electrics in the truck are now totally blown - down to a bad earth! Must have got wet with all the fording I have done!! :oops: :oops: :oops:
Are there any auto electricians in the area????? :D :D
