Hi,
I was a little embarrassed when I got the calendar out and realized we had taken an eleven week break from blogging. Fortunately, we did not take an eleven week break from Brigita. During that time we continued working on the body, fixed a myriad of interior leaks, installed a new lower control arm, replaced all the coolant hoses and worked on all the little things that seem to take so long. The big excitement is that we decided on a paint scheme. Brigita is going to be an ART CAR! We are painting her with spray on, satin-black, chalkboard paint. That way, after every rain and wash we can redecorate her.
Last night my dad and I changed all the coolant hoses. I really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with him working on the car. It reminded me of when I was a child and I watched my dad work on his project cars in the same garage. Thanks Dad!
Elsa: We changed the radiator hoses last night. It was fun watching the green antifreeze coming out. We got to loosen the clamps and put them back on. I'm looking forward to painting Brigita, although I'm not sure when we're going to.
Greta: We tested out a bit of the chalkboard paint. After we primed the hood of the car we wiped it with a sticky net cloth. After that we spray painted the hood with chalkboard paint. It worked good. I think that it will be fun painting the car. I think it will look cool when it is all painted black.
Ingrid: I love Daddy working with me on Brigita. We have had so much fun together. We do lots of things. I especially like Brigita. I love my Daddy because he helps me work on the car. He loves me very much and he's proud of how I help out with the work.
