That's exactly the same equipment I used to use - all of my stuff was 'borrowed' though so haven't seen it for a good few years.

its doing the job very well back in the day when i was a mere whipper snapper ford man a few xr3s xr3i capri 2.8 in black they all got the treatment and looked the dogs danglies last car i polished properly was a red 928 after some one keyd it.

this is the first car in years iv been botherd with and it deserves to look good

Just went to buy a nanocom....3% surcharge for card/PayPal and delivery...then vat on delivery hits it up to above £400.

They must be making a killing on these.

Shelved the idea for now.

Given up on the welding I've got someone else to do it.

Refitted both rear wings and the ally floor, so many rivets. Swapped the 8 spokes and knackered 7.50 r16 tyres for some standard landy steels with 205 AT's. It looks stupid now, was too dark to take photos. Snapped the door handle retainer thing. Oh and the front seats are back in.

Put my interior mirror back on unfortunately. Found my rear wiper does work but sticks so mabye tomorrow lube motor up check power and see what happens

Since the government snatched most of their bank balances to help pay Greek debt, it's hardly surprising that the prices are so high.

Realised MOT expired last Saturday, booked in local garage and sailed through, phew.

I use the Menzerna stuff. Really like it.. HOWEVER.. i polished the 928 and took the slackers way of doing it... didnt mask off the black trim and rubbers. jesus its hard to shift polishing compound of black plastic..

So much for the slacker way of doing it.. it took twice as long to get the black to black if i had just masked it off the first time !!

Replaced batteries in key fob, always useful to have a spare battery cover.

New dizzy, leads, plugs, and coil and started her up for the 1st time in 4 years.

The RR or the Saab

The Saab. RR was MOT'd last month. Failed on a split CV boot but was quickly fixed!

Good thing about the Saab - the emissions test was amazing. The exhaust gases were cleaner than the air going in!

Your kidding... Thats pretty good going... No point putting a hose on the exhaust and through the window in that when it gets to much then!

Yep, 100% genuine! Been using the RR as my daily for over a month, had forgotten how much of a laugh the Saab is when you're in the mood for a hoon

Totally agree, especially when in flappy paddle gearbox mode.
