My 2wd saff cossie project 28/5/13 PICS!
right then had this a while now and have pulled my finger out and getting on with it
now, you will have to bare with me as this will be a fairly long project but ill update as and when i can !
so the old boy is away this weekend so thought id go in and crack on with the underside, it is going to be a everyday car so the whole underside is going to be nice so it dosnt get bad with the bad weather, i plan to stone chip the underside in black, its very clean under there with only 50275 miles on the clock but it will be even nicer soon
anyways enough chat heres what i got done
The car.
the car originally came with grp a fibreglass morrettes in it, i didnt really want the modified look so they came out in replace for these
they were off a normal sapphire gls or something but the glass is good
so i popped the clips off the top and bottom, fully cleaned the light then got all the clips plated in gold/zinc,
back panel is dead clean
the car is originally a cloth car, but it has a minty mint set of leather in it so will be keeping them for now and purchasing two fitted seat covers to keep them good
steering wheel will be re-trimmed one day
check out that phone and original radio/cassete
they WILL be staying 
right now for the underside, its a real clean example with very light surface rust only which will get cleaned up and be perfect
thats all really underside it will come up a treat !
i got a few goodies ive collected so far that will be fitted near completion
and the wheels
they wont be staying white
well thats all for now more as it comes

righto then more !
and its bloody hard work
first things first thanks to my old man what a diamond ! he dragged it outside, lifted the rear up and steam cleaned the whole underside ! he got drenched lol !
not all of it was got as it wasnt high enough but helped no end and probably knocked a good 5 hours cleaning time off !
after this we left it to dry for a day out in the sunshine, then tonight back on the ramp for me and my cleaner to get scrubbing again
heres some pics of the latest
left side cleaned right side as per after steam clean
underside still in a mess after steam clean
and heres after a good clean up !
so thats pretty much that whole back section done, just the arches after
worked my way forwards a little to see how it would come up
only a quick wipe over but side by side clean with dirty
thats all for now, more as it comes
