Take off the slash, mask the outer chrome bit and spray the egg-crate bit satin black. That'll freshen it up a bit

The egg-crate bits fine Martin, it's more the badge that looks stey.

I know there is a way of removing the chrome strip and badge leaving just the grill I might try at some point.

My bargain bought this week

I've been looking at these lots on ebay recently...

Would love some top down driving.

[Pixel-Snapper]

great find then.



In other news... My bloody OS headlight wiper arms jammed in the 12oclock position.... rather annoying to say the least!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Holy mother of pearl!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Bought one of the most indestructible cars in the world... Can't see an issue.

Did you see the bloke in the Crash Thread that flipped his 850 T5 twice and walked away with only a slight graze to the nogging!

Looks good D.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Suit red quite well the new 60.

[Pixel-Snapper]

My S60 will be 3 years old to me this February, I will have done 50k in that time and it will have reached over 200k in total. The longest time I've owned a running car.

She keeps on rolling.

Gave Optimus a good wax ready for his holidays in Cornwall tomorrow.

Is yours broken? (I've not been around much recently - apologies if I missed anything)

Been thinking about selling ours...

No not at all Martin it's running fine, it's in for service and MOT next week so things could change.

It's just coming up to 3 years in my ownership and about to knock on 200k I just fancy a change more than anything.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Managed to finally get some poor boys black hole and wax on Optimus over the weekend.



Now completely caked again

[Pixel-Snapper]

Fantastic! yes build thread please...

Very nice. Much prefer these S60's in a dark colour. The silver doesn't seem to age very well.

They do don't they. Mine could do with a front end repaint as its pebble dashed to buggery and the wheels need painting again....

What I'd really like though is that C30 above

Cracked a Milestone last week... roll on a quarter mill!



Although she's now dropping water from somewhere around the back of the engine.

Must climb under and take a look, I assume its lower water hose seeping?

[Pixel-Snapper]

Indeed it has.

So here's some pictures of when I recently ripped my 60 apart to do the cam belt.

Kit.


Starting the dismantle.


Old v New tensioner.


Belt off.


Old v New water pump.




Not an easy job to do on your own but managed it. I think I could do it quicker next time as this took me about 4.5 hours.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Out with the old....


In with the new-er...




I'll get some better pictures once I've given it a polish this weekend.

So far so good, hints of the old S60 but with a more modern feel.

Nice to have some toys too
