small annoyance, who wants to help me out?

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

small annoyance, who wants to help me out?

Post by drift7one »

being that it was nice outside today, I decided to do something with my SE.

nothing crazy, just rotated the tires (had been about 9K miles) and used some rubbing/polishing compound to get some scuffs and scrapes out.

after rotating the tires, I was putting the lug nuts and lug nut covers back on, and I couldnt find one after I took it off. I looked in the driveway, street, and edge grass for about 15 minutes and no luck. then my brother starts push mowing the front yard and I hear it. how it got 20 feet away in the yard, I have no idea (probably kicked it accidentaly). its worthless now, all mangled up and broken.

so does anyone have an extra or spare from a parts car they could send me? all I need is one, or maybe 2 to have a spare. they are the plain black ones.

also while cleaning the car out, realized that I eventually will need to replace/ repaint my front bumper cover. getting a real bad paint peel on the passenger side.

also noticed this in my headlight -->

tried using a shop vac to suck the wasp corpse out from the turn signal bulb opening, but no luck. seems like its stuck in there pretty good. oh well. dont feel like taking the lights back apart. its a souvenir now.

There is a Bonneville about to come in at work, if no one chimes in before then I'll try to grab one.
