More pics, sorry lol

I'm using my 3dr for a friends wedding next weekend so have spent the weekend cleaning it up ready for it, really happy with the results, although it will want de-dusting again by the weekend lol

Washed with Autobrite products, then treated to Poorboys Black hole glaze and 2 coats of Natty's paste, really impressed with the Poorboys stuff tbh





























Just need to put the ribbons on now and we're sorted

Karl

 

Lovely car! Black hole is awesome stuff!

 

Looks great...
Machine polished or by hand?

 

Mate I'm really starting to dislike you. Not only have you got a stunning Mk2 FRS but you've also got a beautiful 3 door Cossie (is it an RS500?), remind me not to claw you're eyes out if I ever meet you. I think the reason why I dislike you is down to pure jealousy - only kidding mate, you're a very lucky guy and you always come across as a decent bloke on here so good on ya .

I'm still jealous though lol.

 

Cheers Billy, it is good stuff, first time I've used it on this car tbh, the depth of shine is awesome!

By hand mate, not brave enough to go at it with a machine polisher lol

Haha, cheers mate, no it's not a 500, I bought the tailgate complete last year and haven't got round to taking the decal off, tbh I quite like faking it with it being an E reg lol It will come off one day, maybe lol

 

Effort well worth it,going be fab wedding car.

 

thats just stunning karl ,rl7,s are just perfect mate

 

Thanks Rob

Cheers James, there's still a few things I want to do, mainly under the bonnet, have a new radiator to go on, want to lose the Samcos for some of the Roose original copy hoses, and also put the centre vents back in instead of the gauges that are there, getting there though lol

 

Also took the opportunity to sort out my drivers seat, which has bugged me since I've had the car, the material on the outer upper bolster had a slight bit of wear, and the centre base material had a crease in it which made it look tired, also the drivers seat never hugged you like the passenger seat, presumably because it got more use, so I bought a good pair of seats around Christmas with the intention of stripping them and using the best bits to make a mint drivers seat. So that's what I did today....A few pics, I basically stripped bothe seats down, and my drivers seat, swapped the material from the passenger seat I bought to my drivers seat, including the foam and headrest, then swapped the material from the inner lower bolster of the bought passenger seatand fitted it to my drivers lower outer bolster, with a new foam, the plastic catch bobbins were well worn which was causing the backrest to have a lot of movement so I used the best 2 of them all to replace them with and that has solved that problem, the seat is so much nicer to sit in now, feels brand new tbh, hugs you tight instead of feeling sloppy and worn



















Back together

 

That is stunning!

 

looks great Karl

 

Thanks for the comments

 

Amazing! Great idea to use it as a wedding car, might float the idea with the other half... Saying that she doesn't understand old fords, yet.

 

Very nice mate

 

Bufty

 

Stunning car matey.You have done a cracking job of the polishing.

Guilty lol

 

As said by others, Poor Boys stuff us great, used black hole on an old Jag I had, gave it a real deep shine!

 

looks great karl.

black hole twice
then 2 coats of ex sealent (leave 24hrs to cure)
blue nattys wax
then red nattys straight on top to finish

awesome results

 

That's some shine Karl! Great result.

How long did it take you?

Great work on the seat to.

 

Cool, I'll give it a try next time mate

 

Thanks mate

Not really sure, a few hours, it wasn't exactly dirty in the first place lol.

Most time consuming part was the seat but it was well worth it

Karl
