My Neighbours Think I'm Bonkers

Yep, waxed the insides too.....and dressed the arches......there really is no hope. I just hope the body work ends up as well.

Join the club David, Glad I am not the only one, Its the satisfaction you get from doing jobs like this I Like, I even take the discs off clean em up, spray black with heat proof black paint, clean out hand brake drum and adjust hand brake, ect ect, usually about every 2 years I do it , worth doing as it all looks like new,plus any loose bits and problems will be visible

How weird. I did the arches and wheels on mine the other day. Put them back on, and imagine my disappointement when stepping back to admire my handiwork and discovered that you can't see the re-painted struts, inner arches or the painted and polished track rods and wish bones. Well at least I know they are done. My son thinks I'm nutts.

was a regular routine when i had #860. also a place to note is the gap between the arch line and where the sill starts, big mud trap there. same both front and rear. i cleaned them all out and wax oiled it you have to peel back the wheel arch liner to get at them.

heres 860's hope Silver one has kept them up to standard.

here's some of 860






And some of the cerbera's






Plan is to remove all suspension compenents in the next few days / weeks, remove all the bushes, get them re powder coated and new poly bushes fitted, then aligned and MOT, once i've done the suspension with new gaz gold adjustable coil overs.

I think it needs a more caring home

Looks good David, did mine a few weeks ago and didn't get the same results. What do you (or others) use or get the inside of the wheels up to that standard? I used generic car cleaning stuff and some green pad.
