Dehumidifier did its thing. Drier than @Bubbles in there now. 👌🏽

Also - I got all the offending bits before the wheel went back in. 🤦‍♂️😂

Sadly the bodywork lets it down. It needs a full repaint really. But I’m hoping I can get my money back (circa £5k) from someone that wants a tidy old school daily driver or maybe someone that wants a rolling resto and they can get the paint done in time. It’s not a dog, far from it. But every...

Osram nightbreakers in my son’s Astra. Bloody brilliant!

All done. Just leave the dehumidifier in it until Monday now and it will be bone dry and smelling fresh. That’s all for this week. I’ll update next week when I do the underneath and exterior and polish it etc. Bosh. 💪🏽

Yes mate. But they can go on next week when I do the exterior.

Next up - with the help of my badass light. Which doesn’t fit old cars as they’re too narrow. 😂 So a rig up was needed; Rear seat base removed and all cleaned and air lined out. 👌🏽 Seats wet vac’d after a good vacuum and drill brush scrub. Snappy’s work was given a wipe over;

Boot area next. That was howling too. Spare wheel and wheel well cleaned with hot water, Elbow grease and a scouring pad; A light dusting of silver to freshen it up; Dressed the spare (which was still at 30psi! lol) and refitted it all;

Cleaning the interior today. Barf. It’s been off the road since forever so was minging. Here are some pics. First up, remove door handles, remove switchery and leave in hot water/Elbow grease overnight. Came in this morning and job done! All Ming successfully dissolved. Primered...

It’s being sold mate. I’ve managed to keep the track car but everything else is going.

No. I haven’t paid the bill for this one yet. I don’t even know how much the bill is but I do know I can’t afford it. 🤦‍♂️😂 I just took it round the block again. It’s f**king mi t to drive. So so good.

It’s definitely got the loudest stereo. 😂

Rubbish! Get one made up.

If mine ever gets stuck, I push down on the dash with one hand and forward with the other. Seems to untangle the Tabs. I think some come out perfect due to being new/never removed and others that have been butchered back in in the past are the culprits.

At my last place we had ‘Edays’. Sickness, holiday, overtime, bonus etc etc for all 800 employees. As staff We could all access our own portal to request holidays and OT pay and as a boss I could authorise things that needed it, was a fairly straightforward and easy system to use.

Billabong with a climate pack! (Climate control and electric sunroof) that’s probably one of the rarest Clios around. They were brand new for £179 deposit and £179pm. We weren’t allowed to discount them and only got paid £35 per deal as they literally flew out the door. Nobody paid extra for...

Love an Ali Bailey 88 resto thread. 👌🏽

Kev this thing does 1500 miles a week. When o say I cleaned it I mean I got it wet, soaped it up, rinsed it off and drove off. 15 mins tops. Just so I can see out of the windows. 😂😂

Awesome work! 👌🏽 (Please keep the ph2 side strips and ph1 door handles. Suits it perfectly.

I cleaned this on Thursday. This door had a pretty savage scratch so I wet sanded it and then machine polished it. Also put a coat of some sealant I had in my box just to see what happened. I’d say that’s a pretty solid case for protecting the paint properly.

crying out for a cup splitter. But other than that, that is absolutely 👌🏽

Yassss! I love your threads!

1.2 Clios were slow in 1994. With the added weight of the new ones I’d imagine they’re almost pedestrian. *edit - Thinking about it - my mother in law has a 1.2 TCE so 100bhp? Thing is dangerously slow and the gear stick doesn’t feel like there’s anything attached to the other end of it. Like...

Genuinely that car wash picture is making me itch.

No idea mate. If you want stiffer, you could do the 172 Cup route as they’re stiffer and 54mm.

They will fit absolutely fine. 👌🏽

evening boyos. I need some hard pads, a 5 inch backing plate for a Rupes Mk2 and a bottle or two of Rupes polish. Plus a few other odds and sods. Best ‘one stop shop’ website to use?

I use Angelwax Glass sealant type stuff. H2Go or something? Lather it all over, leave it 20 mins, spray a tiny bit of water on the screen and wipe off. Piece of piss. Lasts ages.

Sounds like my wife’s underpants.
