Bus and bumper

The bumpers take their time. The front bumper is ready painted and assembled. There is a slight difference in color between the bumper and the car, probably the old paint can, so it needs a respray. It does not have the highest priority. But today I cleaned and buffed the bonnet, to see if the color difference could have been was caused by the older paint from the car. I also fiddled to mount the front bumper on the car, and at last I partly succeeded. I'm not in a hurry.

 Ready to go.

It's on! Color difference?

In the meanwhile I looked at the cut little bus at the bumper's right mountingpoint. The rusted screw was to loosen from the bumper but it didn't cooperate. So I had to cut off the plastic cylinder, as shown in my last post. The solution is to mount a little piece of petrol tube to substitute the bus. But still, I'm not in a hurry.

The first thing to do now is to buy a new battery for the sportqwagon, I getting bored from dismounting the 146-battery and installing it in the sportwagon and the same in the reversed order.

By the way, from a friendly co-Alfist I got a rearwindow screenwiper motor from an Alfasud. Alass it didn't fit on my sportwagon rearwindow. Right on both pictures is the Alfasud motor. which is now for sale. Thanks all the way, Bert.


Oh, and this one. Since my daughter got an iPod, I also play a little game on it. Especially I like this game. In a few weeks I got to the 4th tier (from 5) and now driving an Audi R8. There are no Alfa's in this (probably) american game, besides some Chevrolets, Fords and Nissan's, there are some BMW's, Audi's and Mini's in progressive types and engine versions. The game is a typical muscle car game: driving in straight lines and as fast as the motor pulls. Nice is the upgrade option of the game: winning earns you money and upgrades are to be mounted. You can even hire a mechanic and the effect in the handling of the car is remarkable.
