Rear mudflaps and front seat cover...

The traditional Sunday working session on Booger Mobile was minus one Scottie today, as he had some family stuff to attend to (his daughter's school fete). Undeterred by this, Damian got into some of the trivial issues that required attending to - first cab off the rank - installing the front bench-bucket seat covers!!

Regular blog readers would remember previous entries about how the seat covers didn't fit properly on the headrest, so Damian painted them with upholstery paint... Turned out pretty good didn't they!!



And here it is from the front... All tied on and secure!



With a little vinyl paint remaining, Damian decided the beige kick-panels could do with a little lick of colour... Out with the old...

And in with the new!!

Check it out - there's on on the passenger side...

And what are the odds? There's one on the driver's side too!!

Damian installed the "double accessory plug" - dual cigarette lighter sockets to mere mortals!

He then turned his attention to the "simple" task of installing the rear mudflaps...

The inner-mudlap-holder-metal-thingo above is held in by three bolts - all facing different directions, and very difficult to reach. After a couple of HOURS of cursing, Damian switched to the one on the driver's side (below), which proved slightly easier to remove...

Once removed, it was painted black (of course!!)

The passenger's side required a large amount of more cursing and persuasion before finally relenting and coming out.

It was then time to work out how to actually attach the mudflaps so that they provided the right mix of protection, looks and safety!

This is the driver's side one bolted to the metal inner doover, ready for installation...

And through the magic of the interwebs, here it is installed!!

By following the same method (only in reverse), the passenger side was also fitted - here they are in all their glory!!

Damian's boys wanted a drive around the yard in Booger Mobile, so Damian did that, taking the opportunity to give the new stereo a workout, muck around with the musical air horns and play with the various lights...

He also took the opportunity to reverse Booger Mobile back into the shed - a change is (apparently) as good as a holiday!!

Fearing that there weren't enough pictures of Booger Mobile with all the doors and bonnet closed, Damian then went a little bourko...

Nice front on shot!

Driver's side from the rear...

Passenger side from the rear!

Rear from the rear... rofl...

So, that was how Damian spent his day working on Booger Mobile... You may be thinking to yourself "Goodness me, he really got three fifths of stuff all done today", and you would be right. The reason for this is that working on Booger Mobile, while fun and often rewarding, is also a complete DEBACLE!!

Which provides a nice segue into Damian's new youtube offering - The Saga of Booger Mobile - a song to the tune of Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats. Check it out!!



Hope everyone has a great week - there may be some more updates soon - you never know!!
