im half way through building a new lump on carbs and should be going lower for summer. and i might even treat her to a respray if i can find the time at work.

tosh

Christ that's low!What a difference detailing it made.

lookin very good!

thats awesome. that guy like it in the brown hoody.

Looking good x

thanks for the comments, thats me in the brown hoodie chavin it up hahaha

Looks nice mate. Sorry to be thick but what does "detailing" actualy involve? I can obviously see the difference it made though!

man i love it! what company made your exhaust? coz im troubling 2 find one i like?

i think its scene for cleaning, just cleaning harder...

ya detailing is a stupid term i have got in to the habit of using.

basically what i did was:
1.wash it twice with meg's gold class shampoo
2.clayed it with meg's
3.two coats of meg's paint resorer
4.auto glym deep shine
5. auto glym seal and left that for 45 mins before buffing off
6.two really good coats of meg's gold class wax

this year i will do the same but i might take it up to work and wet sand it one weekend and then do what i said above.

because im an aprentice in the body shop it's becoming all to tempting to respray the bloody thing and i know i shouldnt so maybe wetsanding it will keep me happy for now lol.
anyways thanks for all the comments and i stripped the bottom end to day and steammed cleaned it so ill start puttin my progress up

thanks again

my little hidy hole
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

a mountain of crap that is gathering for this[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

now for the bodywork, ive filled all the dents and put stopped in the deep scratches.
removed the plastic arches and only found minimal rust luckly lol. so the plan is is i have just got hold of a replacment rear arch to cut of what i need to weild in over the hole and a new front wing. the guy at work hows teachin me bodywork and paintin is goin to show how to flair an arch with a hammer weve had a bit of practice on some old merc wings and they came out fine so lets hope and pray, and then im gonna respray the hole bloody thing in the same helious blue but with a chiz load extra laquer.

the head still needs to go to the enginers so hasnt been painted yet, i just need the service stuff and a few more bits and the lump will be done i hope. all the valver brakes are sittin in the pile of crap waitin to be sorted out

slowly gettin there just wish i had more cash hahahaha


thanks for lookin


tosh

looks liek your gona be busy next few months, i must admit i love doig jobs like hese as long as bolts undo and things go right lol

occasionally they do too lol

lucky it all came apart ok but i though would be a really good idea is to put all the nuts and bolts in to one box and all the parts in to a pile while everything was painted, so when it came to build it back up i would learn more because i would have to fuigure everything out. all ill say is big mistake the majoraty went on ok put i spent a week searchin the net and every book i could to find out about 1 bracket and how it fitted, turns out i didnt need it as it was the power steering bracet lol. but i love a challenge.
lol.
