Yeah, I have the Haynes curtains somewhere, too. :thumbsup:

Todays progress wasnt much seeing as I was busy with my dad trying to fix the suspension on his Citreon, filled it up with fluid and it held out fine. Fine result there!

I did give it another layer of polish (final before wax) and bought some 'back to black' style stuff for £4.50 to go over a few bits of trims that had turned to an 'off grey' colour with age.

Tommorow will hopefully be front brake day!!

Bring it to the pod next month? :thumbsup:

Just a bit Tom? :)

Got the wheels off one by one today and gave them a decent polish up, they look a lot better for it. Will get the new brakes on hopefully tommorow. Hopefully give the underside/arches a good powerwash and then waxoyl to keep the rust at bay for a little longer.

Dan, we need a shine off. I bet my car is shinier than your ST, which is 12 years newer! :)
