Title: A bit of a fettle
Post by venom on 09. May 2011 at 19:26
Changed my header tank today so while the bonnet was up I gave her a bit of a clean







I couldn't leave the outside



The rear quarter was already damaged when I bought her, but she goes in on25th July for a full respray  :)

Very nice indeed  :y

Can I ask what you used to black up under the bonnet?
Was is the back to black spray on stuff or did you use baby oil like a lot of oofer's recommend ?

Well as the Bucks meet is this weekend so thought I'd best get on & fix all the swirls inflicted by the so called hand car wash's they should just fill a bucket of water then fill half of it with grit, oh sorry they do that anyway  ;) & I hate using them but after my foot operation I couldn't wash the car the way I do, so the wife was taking the car to them  :(.
Tried half the bonnet just to see what work I'm in for  :y





I got my answer & it was A LOT of work  ;D

Great looking car - and fantastic results  8-) - even before you'd taken the swirls out. Looks like I might have an assistant as well on Monday...
The next most important step now is to keep it looking like this when you wash it... :y

The good old 2 bucket method  :y, iirc the 2 old buckets only charge me £20 each an hour, ain't it great what you can get from a phone box  ;D
