Perhaps I should put the doors back on.
It’s amazing how much lighter a car is if you remove the doors, windows, windscreens, bonnet, and most of the front end. It is, however, not amazing how blue it is if you paint it in the bluest bluey blue paint imaginable.
So blue. It's the bluest thing EVER.
I haven’t been entirely shirking responsibility over the winter. Gearboxes have been changed, cars have come and gone, and one car in particular is in the middle of a transformation from “beige and bondo” to “bluest thing ever”.
It’s one of those finishes that’s supposed to be “pearl” – ie, it’s got more than one colour in it – but frankly, I’m not seeing the green myself. It’s ever so slightly metallic, and it’s absolutely gorgeous.. but it’s hard work. I had no idea how easy it was to remove windows from ancient Detroit iron, but apparently all that’s needed is a big screwdriver and a moderate amount of swearing.
