Also just given mine a shampoo and wax... Although it started raining before I could buff it all off so might have to do it again tomorrow and I'm too short to reach the middle of the bonnet and windscreen

Finally got round to wiring in my Mazda rx8 drivers seat ( seat motions only ) don't need lumber support or heated seat :bounce:

Nice same year as mine too

Gave mine a polish in between showers.

Gave mine a recolour.
My spraying skills could be better [emoji12]

if the paint has a bloom to it, let it harden for a couple of weeks and then try cutting it back with a couple of grades of polishing paste and a DA.

I had my rear diff rebuilt by James Martin today.

There's a few runs that need flattening and it could do with another coat. They're my jobs for tomorrow.

I got some polishing paste to flatten out the orange peel look later on.

Hard to tell from the pics as the paint is fresh, is that gloss or a satin finish? As I've found satin is a better finish as it hides small debts and imperfections and it polishes up quite well with a DA. Gloss, if there are too many dents ect is harder to make look good.

It's gloss. I've deliberately kept the bumps and dings. Mad I know but it's a Landy and it's never going to stay debt free.

I'm sure green laning will make sure if that [emoji12][emoji33]

I agree with that when i sprayed mine I kept a couple of dings to as it's not a Chelsea tractor.

Agreed

Tried to find the knocking on mine. Found the a frame ball joint was loose yet it still had the split pin in the castleated nut. Tightened it up and put a new split pin in then went for a drive and its cured the knocking. Really need to get some extended arches so I can get the arches cut to stop the wheels fouling the arches when the axles come up level
