Can anyone recommend a really good place in East Anglia or the Suth East where I can get a good waxoyl/complete underseal job done for my Griff, together with engine bay makeover including braided hoses etc. PS. I haven't got the time to do it myself before anyone tells me it's good for me!!

Scole engineering near Diss come highly recommended from the Griff & Chimera owners I know, and they do a very comprehensive waxoyl job on the cars (dismantled all the suspension on one car so they could clean it to do a proper job!)

If you get it waxoyled, there's little point in getting the engine bay "make over". Dirt sticks to the waxoyl on the chassis tubes, main pulley, engine, etc. and makes them look grubby. However, the important thing is that it is clean and rust-free underneath.

Tower View can do it and will even polish/chrome the retaining screws on the bits under the bonnet if you want. They have done quite a few engine bay make overs etc.

I investigated putting goodridge hosing on my Chimp, it would of cost over £1000 to do including the braided hoses, ends etc, you can get the cheap stuff but its cr@p!!

I had the header tanks and plenum top polished by Leven for a reasonable sum and it really makes the engine look different.
