Williams #161 First Photo's

[JamieG]

Yesterday i gave the williams a good first clean.

Washed with Dodo Supernatural, Lime Primed, a layer of White Diamond and a layer of Dodo Supernatural wax. Trims were in a bad state when i bought it, gave it a good covering of peanut butter and that greatly helped bring them back up to glory.

Was a quick clean, done and dusted within about 3 hours.

Very pleased with how she came up, paintwork is in outstanding condition for a 17 year old car. There are a few stone chips, but nothing to worry about - yet!

Number plates are being changed tomorrow for new ones, so should look a bit fresher yet..!

Wax in the wooden pot, very nice

[talkingfish]

Nice solid original car there - good potential for a restoration project! :wink:

[JamieG]

Thats my plan talkingfish, maybe not up to the standard of yours, but i do want to get it improved.

I have quite a few trim parts on order at the moment for it.

Will get all the wheels refurbed in the next few months, they have been done before, but the quality is very patchy in places.

[northy]

very nice, you need to get the 'wrong' bits on the car replaced to get it back to standard

Keep us upto date with your progress buddy

[JamieG]

Yeah, i have a few bits and pieces to change over, i am gonna put original side repeaters back on, not a fan of the 172 clear ones.

I have a ph2 rear boot strip on it - and i am due to have a ph1 coming tomorrow, and the ph2 is going back to renault.

Bar that and a few door seals, its getting there. Also needs Timing belt doing too, so thats on agenda very soon :)

Yeah, literally straight out of the jar, on a applicator pad and rubbed in.

It's wonderful stuff and actually bring them backto black rather than masking them with chemicals!

The splitter before and after on my old cup!

[Daz.]

^^^ how long does that last?

[JamieG]

It takes away all the discolouration from polish etc..., due to the light abrasive qualities it has.

So lasts for as long as needed, you can then apply a trim product on it, i usually use BlackWOW.

Its an old trick for restoring plastic, peanut butter (must be smooth) or groundnut oil. Even gentle heat from a hot air gun will do it
