  1. Ya Im not doing any more to it. When I polished it this year I only used a very light pad and paste. Yep need to start saving!
  2. Made a little sound clip yesterday, god I miss not hearing this all the time! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151109777831853&set=vb.516956852&typ e=2&theater As a slight point the engine was up to temp before doing this. Just residue steam left in the exhaust system you can see coming out as the car hasnt been started for a month.
  3. Wow small world YA havnt really thought about any places yet but will bear that in mind, cheers
  4. Thanks mate :) although Im starting to think it look ****. As I'm getting more and more into my detailing I am seeing more and more imperfections in the paint. I know its not going to be amazing because of the age but after finding this detailing thread on her I have found out her paint is way too thin to try and correct it!!! http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=72309 79-90 microns think on the bonnet and that was 5 years ago, dread to think what its at now! Need to start saving for paint, too. The underside is one of those jobs that needs doing otherwise there wont be a car left if its not sorted!
  5. Looks good mate Notice much difference between the two strut braces?
  6. HAha the car mate Thanks :) Havnt seen your's in a while, still have a soft spot for the Ice grey's ;)
  7. 1 month into hibernation ad I really miss driving her. :( Also started at looking into getting parts for the underside refurbishment. Over the next year going to get hold of brake lines (breaded and hard lines), rear beam to refurbish, front rad support and cross member (if I was quicker would of had the pair Dave was selling), got a set of 288 calipers that need cleaning up and fitting as well as getting hold of some decent rear brakes. Also going to strip the under side and clean up the underside. Rust treatment, a layer of strong paint and a good layer of under seal. Cant wait to get my hands dirty next winter just need to start collecting parts. But need to clean the GF parents garage out to be able to fit her in and be able to work on her. Also if money permits a low ration final drive too!
