Got a bit carried away!
Discussion
Jacked up the S in the garage today to try and find the source of my mystery vibration. While I was there I thought I'd take all the wheels off so I don't have to drive the car to the tyre place with the aforementioned wobble. Once the wheels were off I noticed how corroded all the fixings for the inner wheel arches looked so I took them off with a view to replacing them - nice and easy.
Now I can see the back of the lights. Crikey, they look a bit knackered. Off with the chrome rings and out with the lights to take out the cradles. Might as well take out the cracked indicators while I'm there and get some E30/Kia/Ford Maverick ones ordered up. Have to clean up the area first though so I'll just take off the rubber trims too.
The front of my car is now naked apart from the spots and the badge. I know I need to get the bonnet re-sprayed, question is; now I've got this far should I just go the whole hog and take it off completely? Does any one know a bodyshop around the home counties that will collect large bits of car? Failing that has anybody ever transported their bonnet and how did they do it?
