after doing a fair few miles recently my car was in much need of some tlc. so when i got back from knockhill on sat i started the detail.

not gonna bore you with the ins and outs but it took 5hrs on sat and 8 hrs today

i even painted the front calipers.

here's a few shots

I seen you on Saturday Mainsy not far from Knockhill, I was in the blue S2. Your car looked mega shiney then, can't believe you spent 13hrs on it afterwards !

Well worth the effort though, looks fantastic

yeah i saw you, i had to nip off early, had an errand to run in the burgh. the car was cleanish but needed stripped down to the bare paint, it was covered in dead flies and tar spots

. its now wearing 2 layers of wax, so that should see me right for a few months

Youve shamed me into action Mainsy, shiney or what! Still on holiday so will give my car the works today

Didn't see you at Knockhill on Saturay to say hi, I was up with Blaque from the Royal Burgh.

Still got my hard-top on

Cheers,

John

Next week and a half is the target just need to collect my block from Livi (getting liner heights sorted and liners honed) and bang my new head on it (thanks Mikie 711) then get it all popped into my car and a wee bit of running in required due to the liners being honed and new rings being fitted
