Yep that's what I used to get it off my hands, was red raw for days

Just get the toffee wheel onto your dome.

That's some job you've done there blackie, great work. Can really see the benefits of getting somewhere inside to get working on it.

Passenger side sill now painted. All that’s left to do cosmetically is to refit the side skirt and give the car a damn good clean.

Oh and I managed to get POR15 on the top of my dome! View attachment 419026

Reminds me of when I was nipper and getting tar on my feet, no idea how but all I remember is sitting in the bath getting scrubbed with a brillo pad.... Can't remember if it done the trick just remember the brillo pad

Great work.

Great job, nothing like a clean mot with no advisories after a load of work to rescue something. Must get round to reviving some of my alfa fleet.

Absolutely!! And I’d be willing to lend a hand if you like? I know you’re not too far from me.

 

[FM155]

Appreciate that thanks!

So out scooting about in her today, our eldest son asked me for a lift from his work and as it was in Mallusk I just had to stop at Donnelly’s for a quick pic under their Alfa Romeo sign
