Operation "let's smarten up Bertie" has commenced. The main problem is lacquer fade and peel around the windscreen and bonnet. Today I tackled the windscreen surround. Unfortunately, I didn't take any 'before' photos, but I'm sure most of you a familiar with the appearance of lacquer fade. I removed the lacquer and rubbed down the old paint, applied new paint and lacquer and lightly flatted back. I will leave it a week or so before polishing, but am quite pleased with the result so far. Next job is the bonnet! Looking at these photos, I realise that the hood also needs a jolly good clean!
