What a brilliant read, practically every car I have owned I stripped it all down cleaned and stripped most parts inside, underneath etc. The 309 GTi is an awesome choice. Love it!
Keep up the good work!

Stunning Willsy. Not been on in ages so going to see how the AX ended up. Picked up lots of tips for when I start pulling the MX5 apart

My God it looks good! You must be properly pleased getting all the nice clean and shiny bits back together? It really does look like it's factory fresh.

Latest transformation is with some very tired, faded mirrors. I'd already sourced a NOS passenger one but no new drivers ones exist, so obtained some vgc used ones
Rear of one cleaned up
Here's how the front started
Process for this was as follows;
1) Autosmart Tardis + toothbrush
2) Clean with baby wipes (cheap, easy to see when there's no more muck present & good at removing previous product residue)
3) Heat gun lightly to bring original colour back permanently
4) Apply AutoGlym Vinyl care whilst still warm, plastic absorbs the product and moisture back in
5) Apply Auto Finesse Revive
And the drivers side

I think you have succeeded in making a second hand mirror look newer than a new mirror.

For those of you who have read all the way through the thread so far you'll know that I'd cleaned up the original carpet, it's clean, but it's not without it's faults and isn't good enough for me. So I got hold of a much better one
And after a few hours cleaning I'm now very happy

Not sure tbh mate, it's my Dad's little side project to do up and get a bit of profit from. I can only confirm that it is a Yamaha and that it's on a 51 plate & that's as far as my knowledge goes with it :-)

Well this updates been overdue, since the last update I'd barely done anything until today whilst waiting for bits and pieces to arrive.
Everything refitted now, rear window opening levers fully functioning again, removed the old black tape from the wiring and tidied with conduit instead
Secured the wiring to the front of the seat mounting piece with some black anodised P clips. Quite pleased with this bit
A host of new fittings and fixtures and a NOS door seal
At last the carpet is in :-) newly powder coated rear seat brackets fitted
New carpet clips, handbrake housing refitted
New pedal rubbers and mats

Unbelievable the difference in the car mate. Before it was a tired old motor, now it's having a rebirth as a stunning show car! Can't wait to see it complete and hopefully at some shows next year.
