Jobs Done To The Car This Week.
Discussion
Managed to get quite a few bits done towards the car this week, albeit none finished completely yet! Will get some pics up when all done.
Got the discs for the front AP's powder coated and returned, however am still in the middle of cleaning the calipers up so be next week at the earliest before the new brakes are fitted, memo to self must get some brake fluid!
After checking one of the back tyres and finding out it had a tread depth that I darent mention on a public forum it was time for new tyres (no excuses this time!) got one of the wheels off the back of the car on Thursday and took it in for the P Zero Nero to be fitted, not had the other done yet as it means getting the car out of the garage as the other wheels up against the wall and unfortunately its been p*ssing down all day, when it stops will get it done. Although did manage to polish the inside and outside of the wheel itself properly with a few coats and allowed them to dry before coating in metalmate and re-fitting it.
Whilst that wheel was off filled in a couple of bits of missing paint on the calipers (not a 100% colour match im afraid so thats still on the list to do) also got some waxoyl and coated alot of the exposed metal parts under that side that were starting to show some signs of rust.
Had some engine covers delivered in the post today (good old E-bay!) that need a touch of cutting to get to fit but glad I got them so hopefully get those on over the weekend.
Finally properly polished the side of the car I can get to using the new polish that got the other week, got 4 coats on now of different types and looks a lot better for it, although it did take about 3 hours to do and has knackered me out. Bonnet and boot to do over the weekend then the other side next week when have some energy!
Hopefully have the rest of the month off the car and no more expenses on it, seems to be costing a small fortune at the minute even though it nevers gets used!
