Lighter fluid and matches would ensure a quick turnaround  :laugh: :laugh:

New wheels on the way along with some other goodies.  Hopefully the engine will be back up to strength this week as its currently missing about 30 horses  :shocked: :shocked:
looking forward to getting the MAF to actually see if that will bring back the power the car should have.

with the help of my main man rhys the engine and lights on the dash should be all clear and in good health. just got to fit the new rims when they get here and then its paint correction time.

im looking forward to seeing the turn around myself with this one. as the paint looks like its in really bad condition im aiming for 85-90% correction as some marks look too deep and i will not compromise the panels for a deep scratch as thats when there is a danger of burning through.

took me 3 hours to hoover, wet vax the drivers side carpets and do the drivers seat which is covered in paint and chewing gum etc. tomorrow will do the rest of the inside and get the pics up for ya lads. but you have to wait a week for the paint results as not doing it till the car has its new wheels and tyres fitted and data loggin has been done with new MAF fitted

The current owner has no respect for the car - Grant is trying to put it right but it will go back to the person who has treated it so badly.... :sad:

Grant has already started the process Steve  :wink:
