I purchased this car a couple of months ago from RICHB, and while mechanically she's pretty sound, cosmetically there were a few problems. So when I got her home, I had to decide which way to go, get the few niggly bits sorted or go for a full respray… I decided in the end for the full respray so that the car was the same colour overall instead of several shades. So off she went to the paintshop last week.
I've used the same guys in Hull for 10 years or so, they always do a brilliant paint job, but always leave the car in a mess… but the results are worth it! Picked the car up on Friday and she looked like she'd been sat in a barn for 10 years! So my weekend was cut out for me.
Yesterday I dug out the interior, washed everything down, and treated the leather to some Gliptone.
Today I gave the car a good wash, polish, and wax, including the wheels, and put on new badges, so this is how she looks now:
Really pleased with the result.
Still a fair bit more to do over the next few years, next job is detailing the engine bay (still full of dust), and want to get a new water hose set ordered from John when I get paid at the end of the month along with a new thermostat. Next year I'm going to look at getting the seats refurbished, they're okay now, but the drivers side is starting to get a little worst for wear.
Its been an exhausting weekend, but well worth it
