Japfest clean up.

[adam111]

As my car is on show at Japfest on the 15th of this month, I thought I'd better get it cleaned up seeing it hasn't been cleaned since, iirc, last September.
Done the exhaust the other day:
From this....




...to this...




...leaving the cloth looking like this...


...and the other side.


Nearly finished the engine bay/bonnet:
From this...




...to this.



Hopefully going to borrow some acid from a friend to finish off the engine, some of it was too much for the wire wool, cif, autosol and WD40

The bonnet went from this...




...to this.



I don't know how it got so dirty in the space of 6 months!!

Exterior and interior have been started, pics to come in the next week or so.

what did you use on exhaust?

[J222JRA]

You could have done the inside of the exhaust as well.......wire wool and autosol......makes a massive difference.

ou got any more pictures of the car or a progress thread

[adam111]

I used Autosol on the exhaust, i was thinking about doing inside the exhaust, i bought some wire wool yesterday so i'll give it a go when i've got time.

There's no progress thread, i didn't bother as it isn't a Saxo, i can copy one over from another site though.

This is my car:

I always like something different and this is looking great so far mate keep up the great work , nice colour and wheel choice with the Enkei's.

[Pricklep]

Looks nice!

Dont see the point of cleaning inside of the exhaust.. imo.

[Ozzay]

Looks good, my mate got one of these, very different

urm why? always looks allot better when you look at your exhaust tip and it still looks brand new. nice car anyway mate cant wait to see the rest of the detail

[holdawayt]

looks great, one little comment though, you see the screw on the upper strutbrace? it's looking a little rusty. Maybe wire wool and polish + lots of elbow grease could neaten it up?
