Give it a thorough bath, tar removed, clay bar, compound, polish, and wax. Then polished the exhaust tips, and applied some anachem ultraslick tyre gel. In my opinion photos don't do it justice, but I have zero photography skills.

Drove it 350 miles from Donington to here. The A712 over the galloway hills never fails to impress as a proper driving road. :cool:

Good to meet you today, pictures would do this no justice. That car is absolutely stunning in the flesh! Such a pleasure To be fitting spring on a car with no seized or rusted bolts.

kept coming unstuck using those bits of tape/pad...got fed up buying them, friend had that spare so screwed that one onto the other and then the plate clicks into it lol
I'll maybe buy some 3M stuff off ebay try it again, i'm not the most patient.

bought replacement pedals, was trying to fit the dead pedal (which google told me is velcroed in with 3 push pins), after 10mins of trying to get some sort of hold on it to pry it and just about to lever a screwdriver behind it in a rage at what must be the strongest velcro known to man, I got a tapatalk notification telling me "there's a flap about halfway up with a bolt behind it"

This is why i don't do anything involving the important bits on cars :laughing:

he lied there's no flap/bolt, no idea what this is stuck down with but it will not budge, and not in a decent place to try and lever it either, feck all room to maneuver

Must be the most minor thing on this thread but I'm pleased with it. Previous owner had managed to chip the chrome coating off the handbrake button. Although only cosmetic it still bothered me coz it something I noticed everytime I got in the car (obviously taking the handbrake off) and it actually sliced my hand at one point and drawing blood ! Googled how to remove button (just get pliers and yank it) , sanded it , primed it , Gloss black Halfords paint , back on next day.

Up on stands, pulled the rocker covers, removed the rockers one side and measured the valve heights to check for any valve seat movement. Tomorrow will do the other side, then its on to retarding the cam timing. DD3 prep!!
