Default more of a good tidy up

got this little xr2i on wednesday and it is very clean but needs a couple of bits doing


as i got it






all day thursday concentrating on the paint finish


here are a few pics of the results


started with snowfoam


then a full machine polish using 3m fast cut on green 3m pad ,followed by fine finish 3m on yellow 3m pad and waxed using autoglym hd wax


here is wax curing



then some nice shiny shots













and a very very clean interior



then friday was mechanical day ,when driving it home felt a bit vague on steering so checked it over to find both bottom wishbones knackered, both front shocks knackered and a worn front wheel bearing :doublesho ,i have now replaced these and had it tracked up and it now drives as nice as it looks :thumb:

spent rest of the day cleaning the engine bay sorry no before shots (forgot) still a couple of little bits to do but deffinately presentable now :thumb:





today was a bit more attention to detail


exhaust after a quick clean the other day




exhaust after a couple of hours cleaning and polishing





and a couple of hours on years of grease and road grime inside door shuts and ended up with this






cheers for reading all comments welcome
