He's a metal polisher mate, he kind of polishes metal

These are all polished alloy parts he's done for me!

 

I'm wondering whether to have the transfer housing done too!

Imagine having the whole gearbox casing polished, now that would be something

I think due to the fins it would be time consuming therefore expensive!

I'm going to get him to do some other bits too, inlet manifold, possibly the transfer casing!

A bit of meguires polish and the shine lasts ages as long as you keep the salt off it!

Maybe.............. that's not how it would pan out in my household... I would suggest it then I would get the, 'Soooo... You don't want to spend time with me, your family or see my mum'?  guilt trip

My wife's parents are divorced! 

 

Her Dad is a genuinely lovely bloke, her brother has asked me to be best man for his wedding next year! Her Gran is really funny and we go round there and play cards!

 

It's just her mum
