And whats the worse thing you want when you are doing it????





Neighbour having new paving being put down and cutting the slabs with a disk cutter!!!!

Bl**** concrete dust every where, typical isnt it.

Still, makes life interesting, be boring if it all went smoothly.

Gave mine a wash already and spent all morning cutting the bonnet and top of the wings as it was covered in brown paint flecks from those bloody fence panel sprayers! Lost interest really as it is looking a bit tired after 6 years ownership and 85k miles and a fair few track days, it's showing its age a bit, like me! :laugh:

Anyway it looks a bit better as I applied some graphcs to it as well to break it up a bit ;)

I've replace one of the breather pipes as it was damaged, tidied up the air filter a bit, finally put the R45 lights on :D and have washed and polished it. So that's me done for today, no doubt it will be in a state again by the time i get there tomorrow :laugh:

Oh and changed my avatar so that it now has clear indicators :laugh:

Today I've done
a few bits under the bonnet,
gone shopping to get the 10p/l voucher,
chammied the car,
polished the clayed bits,
done most of the clay on the bottom half
and polished that.

Just dropped Mrs TC off and got the petrol.

I've still got
the front bumper and N/S door bottoms to clay and polish
and the bonnet and boot shut and
under the bonnet to polish,
empty the boot, hoover,
glass,
chrome and
black bits to do,
find my camera and charge the batteries,
sort out lunch,
get some sleep................

I've been on a mad one, since 9:30 just got in, and now got to take the mrs out because i've pissed her off all day.

I've;
Cleaned all the inner arches
Painted calipers
adjusted ride hide (fingers crossed it looks alright)

Fitted bonnet raisers, and laguna splitter.

..and of course cleaned!!

6 weeks work has all come together today, I'm very pleased!!

Well I washed mine, twice cos the first time didnt get all the dirt off. Took the wheels off to clean all the brake dust off the insides...........Fed and cleaned the leather seats, toped up all the fluids, then put some petrol in him. Not concours but nice and clean. Got to make an effort, after all the ZS display will be the best..........:gathering::gathering:

Think we all deserve a Pride of Ownership, prize.

Least we dont trailer them to the shows and park them on little plastic stands, so the grass doesnt get on the wheels.

Sort of done except the last 3.

Also I forgot the wheels so they just got wiped and I've had to fix the bonnet latch as it wasn't closing properly!
