Aluco came over with his big tool.

[Topgeartom]

So the ph1 had its first machine polish, and its first ever coat of wax.

Have to say that the emo ones' bean came up immaculately as well, the pictures dont do it nearly enough justice.

We started out trying to fit my new lambda sensor, failed miserably so got on with a huge clean. Washed, de-tarred, washed again, clayed the whole thing, washed it yet again more de-tarring, wonder-acid on the wheels, tyre shine, then the PC came out for a layer of polish and wax.

Oh and James, your s**t at bump starting. That is all. Much love.

Also managed to give my mini spy cam thing a first test. Piece of duck tape + front bumper = done.

Watched for the epic old car midway through. Dude needs coilovers.

Give it 480 for better quality.

Had to drive to work today over dirty rain-soaked roads. Nearly cried. All that effort and the bumper is covered.

 

[Aluco]

But did you see proper beading for the first time ?!

 

[Topgeartom]

But did you see proper beading for the first time ?!

It did look pretty good this morning after the overnight rain!

 

[Aluco]

Hah knew it would, I've done more of my dash jobby today. Sick of clios now :rasp:

 

[Topgeartom]

Saw the dash pics, does look rather good.

Im having a paint correction day tomorrow, bought a load of bits to fill in all the little scratches and marks.

 

[Ste666]

Nice job with the detailing.......is that last part of the vid shot coming up from thackley corner to five lane ends roundabout?.......only two minutes from me

To correct your paint you will have to remove all of the protection we put on it, you mong. Plus you will never do it by hand.

ste66 yeah it will be, he lives in brad(hate it)ford.

 

[Topgeartom]

I've bought filler primer, paint, papers, and lacquer you arsepiece, im going to actually put the paint back where it needs to be, not just nancy around with some polish.

And yes ste, thats exactly where it is, you really cant be that far away from me.

 

[Aluco]

FLOL

Do you want to borrow "my first paintbrush" ?

It's fisher price so you know it's good.

I'll give you that much.......bradford isn't the most picture perfect place to live(or drive) in

 

[Aluco]

I got lost on the way home and ended up in the centre of the pit.

For some reason the "Home" setting on my satnav had been changed to bradford city centre.
Thank god that's not the case :rasp:



(I like Toms house though)

[Ste666]

"centre of the pit"......lol

Providing thats a euphamism for 'your head' then yeh that would be lovely. That emo mop would be perfect for filling in the marks.

Love you.
