Couldn't find a thread in the search. One of my other jobs is to change out the front drivers door top hinge. Has anyone done this and got any advise? Cleaned the headlights up this morning, was easier than I thought, cutting compound and water with elbow grease made them look like new. This...

Question before I break something, the coloured side part of the front bumper / nose cone, is it possible to take them of for painting. Seems to be a separate part so thought I would ask. Yes could mask it up just easier to paint it inside the shed ( as don't have a garage).

Help, just changed the camshaft left hand non timing end seals. It would appear in the past a previous person has not put the cover plate back and only the right angle bracket on the rear cam. This means a small area of the cam end is open. Am I going mad or should there be a cover plate...
