What have you done to your car today ???



  BG 182
Just a quick wash this afternoon

  Nissan 350z
I removed both door cards from the Trophy and used some NoMoreNails on the plastic honeycombs as they were rattling their tits off previously. Currently waiting for it to set overnight so I can test if its worked tomorrow :)
 
  Black 182 FF
Drove it for the first time in about two weeks
put two tyres on the front
painted the wheel my girlfriend recently scuffed (when she also took out the passenger side rear arch)

goes in for a repair on Monday to the rear quarter and having the front bumper painted too.
 
  172 cup/Escort RST
Replaced the non-working upper brake light on my 172 cup and replaced the dodgy radiator on the wife's 1.6 RSi.
 
  1.6 Astra Sporthatch
Painted my brake drums.

Before:

After:

Very happy with them! Did both rear drums with 3 coats of Hammerite smooth black. Wire brushed and sanded down the drums a bit first to smooth them out. While I was there I also cleaned the wheels inside. Hit them with the Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels, took the photo, then did another hit which left them even cleaner but didn't get a chance to take a photo as it was getting dark.

  clio dci , ren8
Fitted 2new drive shafts & I am pleased to say it has made a hell of a difference , drives like new :lolup: only down side is the lowering springs will have to go as the ride is killing my spine :(
 
  Clio MK3
Cleaned my scuttle drains out after a sloshing noise appeared under the windscreen. Boy there where blocked! Now the two drains are flowing water out as they should :)
 
  Clio 182
Fitted a new pas side fog as mine was misted. Fitted the Skoda chin spoiler and fitted the 519 Automotive red lowering springs.
Still need 20mm front and 15mm rear wheel spacers.
 
  172 cup/Escort RST
Went to fit some LED reverse light cluster bulbs, found that I'd ordered the wrong fitment, then thought I'd take apart the dodgy hazard switch and found that the previous owner had mangled the wiring and tried to bodge it with random wires and tape. Not sure how I'm going to fix this one :dapprove:
 
  Clio 182 FF
Just ordered some Brembo HC front discs, Carbon Lorraine RC5+ pads, rear mintex discs with pressed bearings and abs ring and mintex rear brake pads. Excited :D

Fixed the standard 'corrosion on the offside rear cluster causing fog light to illuminate when other lights are on and causing indicator to not work properly' fault that all clios seem to have.

I've just remembered, I've got a non rusty tailgate if you want it?

It's the right silver, but it's got a few scratches so would benefit from a lick of paint.

It's yours if you want it.
 
  Mazda3 2.2D 185BHP
I went round the car with a pot of 676 Paint and covered all the deep scratches with it.

Now i have a Very poop looking car with paint brush marks all over it :O

Will give it a week then do it again, then a week again and will then Sand her down (on the paint bits with 3000WD) and Clear Coat her up and then a week later give her a polish with my Rotary
 
  Clio 172 Flamer
Fitted a new stereo, cs metal tax holder (nailed it second time) and revived some plastics.

Tomorrow, new number plate, splitter and clay bar, going to try and squeeze in a headlight restoration as well :D
 
  107 Track Car & C4
Restored my headlights! Been meaning to do it for about a year now, they had gone cloudy and yellow. Looks so much better now :)
 
Started my summer project to remove the fubar'd engine from my car.
Never been hands on in an engine bay/anything mechanical before so should be fun :boring:

Took mine up Two Techs in Dartford for some maintenance. Worth the 70 mile round trip. Top blokes.

changed the offside drive shaft as mine went pop last night, never known something thats such a pita
 
  Pug 206 SW, 172 CUP
Had a boost issue on my turbo diesel family wagon. A nice big leaking air woosh sound under load. Turned about to be a completely loose jubilee clip. The only accessible one on the turbo pipework on my 2.0 HDi lump thank christ! The turbo and pipework are all tucked down the back with no access in a 206! I had to remove battery, battery box and some air filter trunking to get at the accessible one! A free fix at least!
