My Boring Bora

[scratcher]

My poor old Bora has been very neglected for the last 18-ish-months. I fell out of touch with it and nearly sold it for a cheap old Volvo.

A friend of mine done a cambelt change, all fluids, filters, driveshaft, CV... 4th subframe, the joys of running low.
I had new tyres fitted to the pretty wheels ready for when I got the car back.
It came back all fixed and then I broke it! Snapped a locating tab on a damper body being a bit enthusiastic with a hammer while lowering the car back down.
New coilovers fitted and a free day in the workshop today meant it could get the car looking nice again.
The process...
Washed down wit Auto Finesse Avalanche, Imperial, Lather.
Clayed (tar and fallout removed last week when I broke it),
Single stage machine polish,
ODK Eclipse wax,
Auto Finesse Crystal glass cleaner,
Gyeon Tire dressing,
Lots of rubbish removed.

Polishing,
Before

After

A quick snap of the bootlid...

This is what the ceiling looks like

All finished

The front has settled down a little better now...

I can't wait to get the Valve over for a bit of treatment.
Not much of a write up, but I thought I'd share it anyway any comments or questions welcome!

Looks like a mirror in that 3rd pic, good work. Bet it's a bugger to keep clean.

Really like BBS' on Boras, sits nice. Do you use the roof rack or is it a scene thing?

I actually really like that mate, top work

Thanks yeah, being solid black it shows everything! I'd say it stays looking clean for about 45 seconds before dust, pollen or bird bombs get to it.

Yeah, I use the roof rack I take my bikes around on it.

Cheers dude I gave the interior a spruce up last week so it's a lot nicer to drivable again now.

Only asked about the roof rack as I think it'd look cleaner without it but if you use it then at least it isn't just for show.

I run without it sometimes if I know I won't be out on my bike for a long while. I took it off for a while a few years back for Run To The Sun and it looked naked, haha.

It wasn't as low back then either.

That looks even better!
