All arches checked and sills seemed fine cleaned up and oiled so that's good news, after getting a flat battery had it checked and the battery was replaced, so decided to give a good clean 6hrs later cleaned up to this









after all that, took for a hoover only to find out after it would not start, had ignition and nothing, called RAC, to find out ignition switch gone  :angry:

Read up on the switch removal have no pully so had to go with column removal, got a bit worried lol, but 1hr and a half later all fixed lovely.

Now to get to doors, on drivers side, and do something with that bonnet, might just get it wrapped in carbon, but wife does not want to lol. Will soon get the better of her as my brother does it for a living

Really want to drop it a little, but got to get the doors sorted as they have dents in them, and the gti trim screwed in, the rear window does not work, and the mirrors do not work either  :sad: so figured to complete doors to solve all issues.

would have repaired the doors, but owner before tried to use a hammer to repair dents looks a complete mess, and want some clear fogs for the bumpers, then I can move forward on other matters lol
