Things have moved along a bit
The glass is now back in Exhaust work is getting sorted, the initial idea was to do away with the exit pipes from the ends of the backbox and bring them straight out of the back however, room was going to be the issue as the tailpipes would have been sticking too far out the back. Onto plan B, change the exit pipes. They'll now be 75mm stainless with 90mm tips, the backbox will be covered with a new piece of stainless to lose the seams etc.
Old tips v new tips ( although on the old pipework )
Although the wheels were refurbed at a Mag Alloy place when I bought them last year, there was a bit of corrosion on the inner barrels of the 2 rears. When Scott removed the wheels to send the car into the bodyshop, he rang and told me the paint was popping off where the corrosion was and he put it down to poor prep.
I spoke to the place that did them and although they said they'd redo them they were non committal re the corrosion.
Scott spoke the place he uses and they said that before repainting they'd need treating with Zinc Chromate, after searching Google apparently it's used to counteract corrosion on alloy metals so, off to them the wheels went....hopefully should be all good this time. Wheel studs have been fitted so the wheel bolts have been consigned to the bin.
The wrap is planned to go on next week all being well and the car should be back with me by the end of the month. Then into the detailers for about 4 days for him to work his magic and have the decals reapplied.
