Great to see decent progress at last!

A good tip I was given when mine was done to protect your rear arches from going scabby again it to squirt some old engine oil in the rear quarters. It will drip all the way round and out the sill in front of the wheel. you'll never get waxoil in there and oil will get all the way into the joins. It works a treat!

its worked for me mate. 4 years later not a single bubble has come back.

prob worth doing the sills too, although you can get wayoil into them ok. could always just thin it down a bit with oil to help it get right into the joints between the panels?

Gaz said he'd call me after the weekend but nowt as yet. I leave it another couple of days and give him a bell.

Cheers mate, I think it'll probably strip itself on the way up to him!!

It's going in on the 29th to have the exhaust made and then after that it's start up time.

Place your bets on what's gonna go bang!!!!!!!!!!!!
