The Flying Tortoise has been looking a bit, well, shabby lately. I've had her for over five years and she's been through some rough weather at various beach areas with sea spray and sand.It was time for a makeover.
So into the operating theatre she went last week, the surgeon promising me a successful outcome.
He sandblasted her steely front, her wheels and her rear bumper back to bare metal.
And her entire cute bottom too
She was as naked as a new-born baby.
Then she was covered with a good coat of quality primer followed by lashings of an epoxy and finally a couple of coats of very expensive two-pot urethane paint. Her face is black, she has a red grill and a very red bottom.
I'm assured her gorgeous little body will remain rust and corrosion free for many years.
As of now you could eat your dinner off her beautiful clean shiny bottom.
If you were so inclined...
