Summer/FCS/Euro roadtrip prep.



  Ph1 172 + Combo van
Had a few days off work because i had an operation so thought i would spend a day on the car.

It needed it with summer coming up as well as FCS within a few weeks. Mid June im going on a bit of a euro road trip too.

Need to give mine a decent clean may be a job for the bank holiday weekend. Looks mint!

Towels look dirty but they have all been in the wash. Should really buy some new ones though as them looking like that does bug me.

Axel stand was under there for when the wheel was off. No point though for the rest of the time as I wasn't under the car and the wheels were on.

Cheers for the comments.

looks nice mate, but as said before - those towels look way too dirty to be wiping the bodywork with!
