Cheers for that, Im working the posting thing out as I go lol. Plans at the mo is just to get it as almost as good as new and mildly tune the engine, suspension. It won't be tracked it will be just for the enjoyment of B road driving and coming to the vauxhall shows. I have another car that I use for the track in the Toyota Sprint Series.

Liking this already. What order did you do your wash process? If it was in the order you typed it some of it was a waste of time. Wash,clay,polish and then wax as final stage.

Fair enough. Cars looking good already and super shiney. May want to think about some poorboys black hole between the polish and wax. Thats what i do and it helps fill the tiny swirls/scratches in.

Cheers, I have washed the car since and all the swirl marks appeared, so they have gone on the jobs list to sort out. I'll get my bonnet on and a new bit of arch cover at the back and go from there.

Not much to update on at the mo just been getting all my new bits together for when I swap the bonnet over to the New one and I've fitted a new head unit, it's from around the time the car was made 1999/2000. It a all back coloured Kenwood CD player so it matches into the dash well I think.
