Can't remember the paint cleaner, will ask my neighbour tomorrow.

And max I know right! Wheels and tyres look shit lol, hating on balloons!

Ordered some g techniq C4 for restoring the plastics so :)

Yeah the paint was really contaminated and oxidised!

It's hard to see in pictures because it looked fresh before but it looks a lot better now!

Need my bloody coilovers!

Also: pressed plates or standard with GB emblem? :)

When you getting your coilovers? I gotta strip mine to try and un seize them :-/ well only the fronts

Looking good Nick! ;d Keep up the good work

Well I ordered them over 4 weeks ago so hopefully soon!

Thanks Dave

Just read through the whole thread hick narris and your overdraft must have got a good raping

Love the work though man, I need a mop :(

Hahaha I know mate! Just workin lots but it looks like I can't for a few weeks now due to stanford, poloshow etc (you going??)

Yeah luckily my neighbour does detailing so has a lot of kit, wasn't really any sun today so can't really see for correction, all I can say is white hides swirls really well!

Wish I was mate :( car isn't gunna be at the standard I want it to but if I can afford it I might come down...

Swirl marks on a black car are killer, gave up half way through cleaning it today because of it!

Yeah you need a mop lol

When I droppe bits in he said 40, maybe 50£, went today and he said £30, ain't even worth the hassle of tryin to clean up and paint myself lol.

Dunno where my braided hoses are, probably cause I got blue ahah.

Also might drop wheels off tomorrow and have them done anthracite

Absolutely agree, a can of hammerite is almost a tenner for spray on and a knot wheel is about £7.. do the maths and you think.. hang on a mo

Loving this dude, coming along nicely!

Where did you get your drum parts from btw? (springs etc).

Erm I got them off eBay but they're a good brand I just can't remember what haha

Got some plates to tidy it up.

In better light. It looks SO much fresher and whiter (:

Tis tidier than the 6n.

Also got these

yay tyres! get the wheels ornnnnn! paint looks great! come and do mine!

Badgeless grill looks crap man, get the badged one back on!

Paint looks great though, A539's , awesome tyres, get them wheels on, now!

nick youve managed a whole page without listing the parts you are buying! whats going on!

Your face looks crap but I don't make a point of it

I do want a chrome rear badge mind! What are the Yoko's like in rain?

I ain't got the wheels! Hopefully poloshow mind

Looks good man!

Cant wait to see the wheels on Best be on for poloshow!!!

the way my lifes going currently i doubt this will ever get finished, anyone who has anything of mine or should be sending something just seems to be taking forever or ignoring me haha

What are the Yoko's like in rain?

Great on a track where you can get the heat into them. Not so good on the road if you like to make progress when it's damp, as it's hard to get them warm in such a light car without driving like a idiot. When it's dry though, I love them.

They're not abysmal like some of the budget stuff though, I've driven my Polo on snow and ice with them before without stacking it or resorting to any heroics.

yeah i remember us chatting about these actaully! i dont drive fast in the wet anyway, saying that still managed to crash LOL.

i need some 13'' slicks and some 13'' winter tyres :)

Yes Yarris!!!

Slicks and winters FTW

maybe not together though???? unless slicks on rears and winters on front, drift win yo
