I think it might have something to do with weans starting egg holidays.

Yep, we're inundated with tourists and the High Street is like a Range Rover showroom.

Refurbishing/improving my very rusty bumpers
So far done a flap disc, wire wheel and abrasive pad.
Actually quite tempted to call it quits here and lacquer it to stop it flash rusting over!
I have run out of lacquer though which is annoying as I wanted to get the bumpers back on today to give it a spin.

Thinking maybe to wax the metal rather than lacquer paint. It should give protection against rusting but still easily removable to polish again later.

Pretend the clamps aren't there.

Looks really good I reckon. 

Going to polish them with autosol later or tomorrow. Then use Collinite wax to protect it from rusting.

I need to clean the Boxster now. Fantastic weather finally and it's absolutely horribly filthy from storage.

With overriders loosely attached. Can't decide if I want to have them on or not bother. Rear is missing them anyway.
