Cool My W.I.P then for Sale.

Working on the wrx pre sale.
Took what ever trim I could off and proceeded with a good claying.

Will keep you up dated with the progress.







Will post a couple more up tomorrow when the shiney thing returns to the sky.

Right.

Finished claying the car this morning then Gary and I did a bit of paint restoration using his bag of magic and his orbiting machine.

Cars come out stunning and I did have second thought of selling it, but it is going on the RA so that's ok.

Here's some pics I took with my phone.





Here's a before and after.

Before


After


Just got new tyres to go on, geometry setup and paint the scoop and vents.

Then some one will have a minter.

Dylan.

Nice job Dylan, it's nice to see you put some effort in for once.

I'm sure the new owner will be pleased.

Went up to Melvin Evans today to have the geometry set and tracking done. Had 1.5-ve camber and 1.2 mm toe.
Massive thanks to boys at Melvin Evans for a very professional service, and were else can you get your car worked on next to a wrc car??

New tyres fitted, went for the Kuhmo ecsta KU39 they come highly recommended from me. Great in the wet and dry.
After the settings were changed it made a huge difference so I had a big smile on my face on the return journey over the A4069




Well its safe to say the car is transformed, someone is going to have a hell of a car.

Oil's and filters all done. Plugs tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments guys been really buy of late.
Glad it shows in the appearance of car.

Calv. The geometry was £40 but they barely changed much. Plus I got a close look at a couple of WRC cars.
