As she stands at the moment - here you can see the side grill that needs some correction but overall the paintwork is beautiful - never really noticed the silver specs in the XPG but it's very clear on this car.
Engine bay looks the best I've seen. Those lifters are a great addition.
The car is a credit to her former keepers -

Cheers.
I think it would all polish off if I had some proper equipment and she's got to go in to have the windscreen done so it may as well all be done properly at the same time.

Had my first really bad back spasm ever the other day - hoovering of all things. I've never really suffered before - but - this was really sore !
You have my sympathies mate - you've had a bad back for ages eh - and if you were round the corner I'd come and throw a sponge over her for you ...

I tend to use a bag of frozen veg inside a thin tea towel over heat any day. Had my bad back for well over 30 years, 'mechanics back' the doc called it.
Zed is looking awesome Dan...............

She's lookin great dan !
I did start removing that black paint from the passenger side grille after having the drivers side repainted. Was wet sanding with some 2000 grit and then I was going to use some cutting compound to remove the light scratches left over from the sanding stage. Used to do a bit after each time I washed her, extremely time consuming though I find.

Didn't have that Queen record on, Dan, when you were hoovering???
Car looks good, great engine bay, nice looking mods.
Sorry to hear the backs still playing up, grimmy. Hope it gets better, or at least less painful.

Best left to the pros as far as I'm concerned, not got the patience to do little bits at a time.
