My first car...

[Aluco]

So quick wipe off all around top to bottom then spray down with quik detailer and wipe again?

Jep !

 

[Curtis!]

Jep !

With the same drying towel or should I get another?

 

[Cunney]

Best off just using a squeegy mate, not a fan of using chamis myself, prob worse than sponges for swirl marks, bit of water mark don't really make any difference, just go over it with a micro fibre cloth before you wax it (if you're not polishing)

 

[BIFCAIDS]

O thanks alot lol, I go down to screwfix on a thursday which is opposite royal mail... but there's never anybody else about apart from us and I don't drive it like a 'ball bag'

Besides you know if it was me, RED WHEELS!

[JD]

Lol. Alex, you will be taught on Sat mate, make sure you get round for the washing stages around 10-half passed.

Oh and btw. I MISS HER !!

 

[Cunney]

Just squeeze it out will be fine, you can go really ott with cleaning.

NOOO!

Alex. Wash the car, rinse, then spritz the QD over the car. Then dry, ring out, dry, ring out dry until you have done the whole car. If you go back to it you WILL swirl it. That type of mark is easier to correct, but it will still need to be corrected. Leave it until tomorrow, I'll show thee

different for the record the one your talking about is in Bewsey/Orford, the one im taking about is in Great Sankey, i never go on the one your talkin about thus why yesterday everyone staired at me as i drove on to see alex

 

[Aluco]

All I meant was get the massive blobs off the roof first so you don't saturate the towel then spritz QD & dry.

There shouldn't be much to dry on the sides anyway if it's well waxed (which it is.)

 

[Curtis!]

They were all like "Who's that?" "I know that guy..." "What's with the yellow headlights?"

Walked back over to Phil and he was like "I know him! "

Took me about 30 mins to wash the car last night and another hour to get it reasonably drive, all the front bumper/bonnet/wings and most of the sides were ok. It's just the roof/spoiler/rear window/mirrors that were water marked slightly.

Don't worry Jamie I'll follow forearms.

Aye I've been looking after it, holes will be replaced and the scrap was just an accident, Mr I like to drive on no wheels!

Quite fancy going in the wigan branch to compare, as the warrington one is kinda small IMO. I'm skinny as a pipe at the moment so can't wake to crack on with things.

And leave me alone Jamie, I want my sleep.

 

[Jason_E]

Nout wrong with being skinny as a pipe! I have been since '92

 

[JD]

Flipping eck! 92? A wee babber!

 

[Jason_E]

Same here mate, all was going well, put on a stone in like 3 month then lost motivation and just been going to maintain current level rather than keep pushing

Always push hard as possible mate. It's just getting enought sleep with work/college for me.

JD, My DOB is 01/05/1992.

 

[JD]

Christ, and I thought My sister was young at '89!

Anyway, enough chitter chatter in your thread of pictures, get some more up!!

 

[Curtis!]

Moar will come later tonight hopefully.

 

[jesus]

Feel free to pop over to my place if you need interior bits

 

[Curtis!]

Tell you what, I'll post the interior imperfections to sort out.

Basically just get a whole new dash, clean it to perfection before it goes in and then sorted.

 

[Jason_E]

Is that a hole were the tweeters should be?

 

[Curtis!]

Is that a hole were the tweeters should be?

Aye, it's down in the whole, just needs a cover thingy I think.

 

[Jason_E]

Easy to pick up! But as you say a whole dash jesus is breaking his is the dash going?

 

[Curtis!]

He is, but I'm holding out on spending money at the moment, I will in a short while as I'm not cutting into what I have at the moment. It's going to be a good few 100 quid so.

 

[Curtis!]

Quick picture from last night, going to add my others to the Warrington thread.

 

[Firas]

nice first car mate. just needs a few things sorted and it will be truely mint.

 

[Curtis!]

Update today guys, sorting out some problems...

The problem:

Everytime I reversed out of the driveway, it'd scrape slightly along the floor, and the more I caught it the lower it would go mm by mm as it peeled forward.

Pretty much an hour later:

I'm going to get a new bonnet when I get RS wings/skirts aswell...

The whole front end has some form of acne...

 

[Jason_E]

Looks like my face. You grinding down the splitter?

 

[Curtis!]

Thickness of the splitter:

Was another cm lower than it actually appeared! Mega

Are these microphones for the handfree JD?

I want to get chop of them when plans come through.

The car had these on either wing:

And now without on either wing.

Also fitted the washer blanks for good now, managed to squeeze my arms through the maze of the front end and attach the washers and bolts to have them secured.

Going to look for a thinner splitter Jamie.
