hmmm cant seem to edit the title of the thread
took head staggers on a day off work in the good weather last week that i wanted to go a spin in the calibra, phoned insurance company and got it added to cav policy for peanuts, checked mot online and there was a date for that evening so friend kindly drove down wi me and we took it thru mot that day... pass flying colours
got her home and been flat out wi work and trying to do some bits and pieces when i get the chance,
it had never been machine polished and the short time i had it on the road i cleaned it a lot but with poor wash techniques leaving it relatively swirly plus it hasn;t really turned a wheel in 2 yeasrs other than tick over and short runs to keep everything hunky dory...
started in with the megs g220 and pretty pleased wi the results, no during pics due to not havin a lot of time and also forgot to put memory card in the slr, doh!!
washed and dried
plastics and rubbers masked off
then was machined using red/yellow megs pads wi menzerna polishes, 2 coats of red moose glaze and 2 coats of 50/50 wax
some folk will be pleased to see i took the tow bar off aswell
New number plates being made up,
still want to take off the wheels and clean them properly and also do the arches and liners....
engine bay to do and maybe underside get some attention aswell before long!!
Just under 25k on her now
