Chuggs1 10 Posted October 4, 2015 Ok... Started work on removing the under bonnet sound proofing. Glad people said it isn't easy.... Cause it's not! Nothing technical.... Which is good but a lot of elbow grease.... Part done but need beer now so the rest can wait.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also used a ice scraper instead of credit card... Works really well and does not scratch the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cong 10 Posted October 7, 2015 do you know if its advised to get longer bolts when adding 5mm spacers? or is the standard ones fine for a spacer that width Sorry for the late reply I used the original bolts but my car is not a daily driver I did race it at Santa Pod on Sunday with no issues.

emmib 10 Posted October 9, 2015 me and my lovely bf have been like busy little bees this last few weeks, spending hours treating my girl and pampering her, shes a beautiful lady anyway but OMG she looks truly stunning with the whole treatment from autoglym and the interior is as stunning as the exterior, my bf lovingly recond the steering wheel and gear knob and they now look like they did 20 yrs ago, she also had her headlining professionally fitted on weds this week and wow what a difference, i hadnt realised how awful she looked without it!!! shame on u emma :shrug:!! whilst we have been working away i have had several people stop and comment how stunnig she is, which apart from making me smile, makes me think its all been worth it to get her ready to put in the spotlight when i sell her. few more bits to do and i promise you, you will be able to eat your dinner of my engine bay after this weekend :dance: i will get my bf to put up some pics Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
