Harrier 1 Posted March 28, 2015 Looks like a brand new car! Are you putting the side trims back on? Yes, I will be. Need to clean them up still. I'm hoping they will be ok as they were a b*tch to remove and may be a bit bent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harrier 1 Posted March 28, 2015 Is it staying 100% stock? they look so good like that. Yes, I think so. After my last car, albeit lightly modded, just want to keep things more simple and appreciate it for what it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harrier 1 Posted April 6, 2015 With the long weekend & decent weather things are coming along nicely. Interior re-fitted now, removed front seats to clean & vac interior properly, cleaned and treated the leather. Apart from the exterior side trims (need to find something decent to fix them on with) and brake discs and pads, it's just waxing and detailing now before Stanford Hall. Found a minor niggle with the radio, not working from osf & osr speakers. Hoping it's just faulty speakers but a bit annoying to find the problem now it's back together :( Started waxing this eve until it was too dark !

Harrier 1 Posted April 16, 2015 So I have just about completed the 'to do' list for the car and I can soon start enjoying it for the Summer 8) Work on re-furbishing suspension etc will re-commence later in the year.I have re-furbed rear shocks and replaced the bump stops as they were grotty, new discs & pads front & rear (yes, I know I should have cleaned/painted the rear back plates) ! Will do them with the rear beam. Will tax it from the 1st May and soon after will be the 2.5 hr drive to Stanford Hall, that will be a good test ! Apart from the 1.5 hour drive to bring it home I haven't done more than 20 miles in it, in the 4 months I have owned the car ! thanks for reading 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harrier 1 Posted May 3, 2015 Stanford Hall time again ! This time in the new car, and I took the 2.5 hr drive there early this morning with my son 'Ollie' . Third visit to this show for me but initially wasn't blessed with the good weather which I have experienced there in the past. Torrential rain all the way there which did ease as forecast, as we arrived around 10.30, and from then on not too bad with some sun. So driving through all that weather and then through the muddy grass of Stanford left the car in a right mess leaving me thinking what was the point of spending the last few weeks getting the car super clean :( But after a bit of a washdown with a few buckets of water the C looked quite presentable and then I was able to enjoy the show, definitely my favorite :) So all in all my first show in the new car was really good and it drove wonderfully there and back.Just needs a damn good clean.... again !
