iTrader: (3)

you sau that now, just wait till you get it back and it'll be like "what car cover should i get?" "what products should i use on this?" "should i rotate the wheels when i take them off for buftying every week?" "who does the best fly spray remover for paint?" etc

and then of course you'll have to work even more overtime in order to be able to afford all the stuff to keep the car clean

You meet some people who you think are good at there job then you meet people are brilliant at there job and take car of other peoples cars.

Dave-m

Yeh your right mate! When you put your car to someone for work (especially paint and welding) there's nothing better than knowing when you go back to collect it a top job has been done!

I certainly wont be recommending the first bodyshop. Where as the bodyshop it has been I cant praise it enough.

iTrader: (2)

Did he have to repair what had bin done or did the other garage at least do some solid work in the months they had it, looking great though

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

The other place did the welding to the ns of the car but the back arch was ripply so Gaz had to straighten it out.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

So I took the car to work today to fill the inner sills, rear inner arches and rear chassis legs with waxoil and engine oil. I got a long piece of pipe and attached it to my gun then stuck the pipe in the holes in the rear inner arches.









Does anyone know the best way to remove badges without damaging paint work. My RS badge is a mile away from where it should be.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

I thought I would take the car to work to doing the waxoiling cause I thought I might as well let the waxoil drip out of the car on works floor rather than my drive lol.

I think the badge looks fine glen, I wouldn't risk it

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Should look like this. I was thinking about betting a bit of string and push it behind the badge.

Gently hear it up with a hair dryer and carefully peel it off.

Or get tooth floss and kind of saw it off from behind.

There are solutions you can buy to get the residue off.

Or use those heavy duty hand wipes, that gets it off but may leave a bit of scratch mark.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Im gonna have a go at adjusting the rear bumper too cause its higher at 1 side thab the other. I doubt the bumper adjusters will work lol.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

CarloS I was thinking about something like floss and sort of sawing it off.

Staffi

Looking good now pal

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Thanks Pete.

Carlos-Titx

AG Tar remover is apparently good to get the crap aff after.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

I think ive got some of that stuff.

Cossy Mike

iTrader: (4)

dental floss or cotton thread will get it off Glenn

then pick as much off with your finger nails as you can, then I used windowlene, the pink cream stuff not the vinegar type one

or try panel wipe if you've got any

ajamesc

After having my sills done I filled mine from engine oil mixed with diesel so it would run into all the gaps! Sprayed it into all the holes along the inner sill under the carpet then left it in the workshop it dripped out for days lol.
Then once it stopped driping I did the same with wax oil

Colin_P

About time you changed the thread title is it not?

Get rid of "My rusty...."

As the rust is gone!

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Top info Mike.

Colin yeh I will have to change the title lol.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

I did a bit of work on the car today. I waxoiled all the inner arches then refitted the arch liners. I adjusted the handbrake too.

A few pics after its first wash since I got it back.








Just got the side skirts to fit now.

dojj

iTrader: (3)

that looks nice and clean glenn, you must have polished it like a demon because if i didn't know any better i'd have said you cheated and had it resprayed

Fiddy

That's always been my pet hate as I've told you a million times, it's that far away from where it should be, it's almost in a different post code


Cars looking mint though kecka chore marra mush, I'll see you Thursday night for a pint

dojj

LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't touch it, don't let anyone else touch it, don't pull the badge off with a bit of string or a knife or a blob of butter of a peice of toast, just leave it where it is because you'll only kick yourself in the bollocks if you ruin the paint
