Bought 0199 back in october i think it was last year, since then its been my daily and hasn't seen a wash in the last 5 months :oops:

So with the cold finally breaking and the rain/snow stopping I decided to get off my arse and actually break out the bucket and sponge :D

As you can see in the first few pictures, living and parking on a hill where Tarmac quarry lorries go up and down all day and night isn't exactly indicative to a clean motor, it was frankly a disgrace!!

anyway heres the fruits of my last few hours of labour! still need to vac it out then come spring i'll probably crack out the clay bar and meguires 3 step polish as well, seal it back up again as although theres one dodgy arch, the paintwork and wheels isn't too bad :D

Cheers

Ben

oh and future plans for this year include:

- fit the set of 4 parada spec 2's sat in the shed
- fit 'new' alternator and actually new aux belt
- fit megane or laguna jc5 gearbox and mk 2 clio top gearbox mount
- refit front bumper and get fog lights working
- refit all missing splash shields from wheel arches
- correct painted parts on front end by returning to grey plastics

and maybe, just maybe if it feels tight after all that lot bodywork and save this one instead of killing it....all depends on financial situation, cars behaviour and how good the chassis is when i start work/investigations under the body panels, if i find rot, he dies :roll:

For a quick clean it looks well!

Hope when you dig deeper it is solid enough as looks too nice to kill just yet.

I thought mine was dirty...comes up nice though Benny.

I bet you were very careful and thorough removing the grim before drying it off?

Need to clean mine too :(
