decided to start polishing the car today as i was bored.
also removed the bonnet cheques as they were looking tired.


all removed, shows howmuch the paintwork has oxidised!


half n half of tcut then super resin polished




bonnet finished.



when i took it back outside and it got rained on, it revealed the squares are still there slightly gutted. might need to g3 it.


also fit my depos. but the rear clip snapped on the light so had to remove it. hopefully superglue will fix it :\

Finished polishing the car today. think it looks awesome now! just needs sealing with some decent wax.

before


after (opposite side)



rear before...


rear after




around fuel cap before


after




also decided to remove the club badges now.





powerrrrrr


got the last depo in. the clip came back off but because the mold is quite a dodgy copy, its sat tight. so isnt wobbly thankfully.



So tomorrow i think im going to purchase some megs deep crystal wax and see how it turns out.
