Some corrado updates

The ever popular...or unpopular... joey modded headlights, or how to spruce up your lamps while still being a cheap bastard who can't afford new smoked ones!

Step one - remove lights from car...

Step two - clean all the tiger seal off the lamps that some previous knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing owner used....to fit his grille spoiler!

Step 3 - remove lamp lenses...CAREFULLY! If you're a ham-fisted Neanderthal, best let someone with a bit of finesse do this for you...hammer NOT required for this task! Prise lens clips away from glass with a flat screwdriver, levering against the back of the lamp, not the lens!

Step four - clean up lens with wire wool to remove two decades of gunk, then polish with glass cleaner of your choice...DON'T DROP THE FUCKIN' THING!

Step five - Get your trusty tin of smooth hammerite and a fine artists brush, and brace yourself...here comes the tricky bit.....steady now!

Step five-and-a-half...to steady your nerves, have a refreshing cool beverage...here's mine being delivered to the workbench...thanks darlin'!

Step six - lay the paint on evenly, taking your time around the edges of the reflector bowls...here's how it should end up...

Step seven - repeat for the other lamp...

Step eight - re-assemble the lamps once the paint has dried and pat yourself on the back, job well done.

 I don't have a pic of them on the car yet, as its still in eleventy million pieces on the driveway.....patience, all will be done soon!

Later folks,

RV.
