Nice day for some GRINDING!
Woke up to some sun the other morning, so spent pretty much the whole day with the car... no idea what to do on a day off, hardly get them 
So I removed the rear brakes, took them all appart and grinded them down before applying some paint and a slow bake in the rayburn Did the same with the discs, then removed the arch liners to get rid of 1 little surface rust bubble on one section...perfect example of OCD in my case, but I'd hate to see what's lurking behind arch liners on some other RS's Then applied some aerosol underbody sealer and stone chip.
Also fitted my Armourfend, quite an easy job but need a lot of patience. Reason I'm applying new one's is because I had my quarters repainted the day before Central Day; again OCD related, smallest stone chips in the world...but I knew they were there!
Grubby finger marks over the freshly painted calipers, look nice n' shiney now after some panel wipe...

You clearly havn't met me then, I am nuts! 
Nah, not spent much on it at all, I have my ways
and I do everything myself anywayz.
At least I'm not like those crazy EsCos owners who brake their cars after feature

Yeah,OCD would do that to you.
Mrs has it too,and I hate it,cos I dont get any of the benifits!!
Other than a freaky clean house that is.
You dont fancy a 3 door to work your OCD magic on?
Or you could buy it, do your stuff and i'll happily buy it back onced you've finshed obviously claiming the credit all your hard work.
