Great memories.





Decided to spend some cash on the truck

After the effort and cost put into the wheels, I did not manage to find another 9 used caps needed, and to be honest, new will be a lot nicer.

Interesting, as always the cost of a purchase in the USA doubles by the time it lands here.

So $19.99 became $41.00 on my driveway.



Original GM parts are even more costly before taxes and shipping.



Sally’s sons car got hit in November in a non-fault accident etc.

The repair was massively delayed and he was unhappy with the finish, so I offered to see if I could trim back some of the runs in the clear (Ended up shaving them back with a sharp blade then hand buffing followed by machine) and also a load of Matt finish, orange peel and overspray.

Masked as much of the black parts as I could get to, then spent 2 hrs at it after washing and drying the side.








Not easy to see, but it both looked and felt a lot better after all the runs with the DA Mop and G3 Compound.



And all that was left when he left was a big grin, and a white stripe.



Now when wants to buy a mop, going halves wit his brother.

Did I create a monster?

Amazon delivered today.

Lug nut covers ordered on the 8th, extra postage paid for delivery by 12th so delivery by 10th........ great.

Opened and unpacked after completing some online work.



Can you see anything wrong?

Yup.

Ordered 22mm or 7/8” caps, but delivery was 25mm or 1” items.



Delivered items



Ordered items.



GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

So onto Amazon Helpdesk for 40 minutes, AI vs Man

Eventually get told they will refund my account, collect the items and no, they cannot resend the correct items.

It is an Amazon “Seller” whatever that means when you are passing the buck.

So I have messaged the seller (Chinese like on EBay) and asked if the can supply the correct item.

Fingers crossed.


I actually only needed 9 of these caps.

May have had a little accident today.

Flip Flop slipped.......

Oooops




Practice run for the real thing.
