  12. WOW a Fire engine, I want one I`m sorry to hear about your seats, if you have no joy Gliptone is your friend, if your scared of doing it I don`t mind helping you out, I`ve done plenty of repairs & refurbs now. Actually I`ve got an Aston Martin Vanquish S to do next week with two tone Red & Black seats ( A full clean * re-dye of the leather interior & an exterior detail after I`ve given it the once over down my nearest B-road, apparently it will do over 200mph
  13. Yes I agree, I log in twice a day just to check up on this thread, I`ve now had to order a load of bits for my car to keep me occupied
  14. Yes that may be a better product, after using it to clean I then rinsed with soapy water to remove the acid, Also I`ve heard the dishwasher powder is good for cleaning milled ali, but not tried it myself
  15. Not quite as the Uprev tune will be done again once shes Blown
  16. For cleaning the unpainted ali parts, I used a diluted wheel cleaner mixture, & a brush with plenty of elbow grease. I did try a steamer which worked but half the time you can`t see what your doing with all the steam, so gave up with that idea. The underside wash was a mixture of steaming & soapy water then after drying, treated any rusty patches with a rust remover gel & drill mounted wire brush, then painted with oxide primer, finally gave the underside & wheel arches a good coat of hammerite underbody sealant (aka waxoyl)
  17. Update: Replacing hinges on drivers door, Check!

  18. Glad to here that there has been some progress.
  19. Looks & sounds great, the tunnel runs we're great especially with Ian's asbo popping & banging Was a great day even though the weather was a little poor, that's 500+ miles in a week for my poor zed
  20. Wasn`t Will370z racking up some more miles was it?
  21. Nice one Dave, looks ace, when I dd mine I went satin black with the plastics, it matches the other plastics very well
  22. Also might be worth checking that the ac clutch plate is still intact.( its a plate that bolts onto the front of the compressor) Mine fell off on the way back from the jock land hoon, found it on the under tray 500 miles after it came off
