I really need to fix the right side of that car. Asked for the dent to be sorted, rear bumper can probably stay that way, front one needs to be glued back together... Things are constantly falling off this car, looks nothing like it used to. I'm sure I can paint most of the stuff myself though.

We're starting a team, 4 drivers in 3 classes. Might help get some sponsorship next year or at least take things a step further.

Washed my car (with the gritty bucket of water and a hose pipe method if you're interested, Jardo) and took some pics :)

Next jobs - paint rear bumper, and I've got some US spec rear lights to go on, but they're not a straight fit so I've got to work on that. For reference, US rear lights -

I'll take some "befores" next time :P

Or maybe some proper gayboy pictures of myself in reflections after and a full run down of every product used and the way I used it. Jeez.

:lol:

Washed with fairy liquid and a cloth, wheels cleaned with a brillo pad and bumpers and trims sprayed with GT85?

Liking the Audi.

This thread can never have enough boxy 90's metal.:P Not sure if I posted pics since it was lowered, and yes I realise it doesn't look lowered at all. :(

I remember some discussion about gawky rear ends many pages back, Beat this!

I have no idea why Volvo decided to put that bend in the exhaust. :S

I popped up to Combe today to watch the action day up there. Good day and some fun looking stuff out on track. I took a load of pictures but most were crap thanks to a 'who can pan with the slowest shutter speed' competition. We got down to 1/8th of a second, shooting at about 100mm with no stabilising, many crap photos in the process though! The bonus being I'm now consistant at ~50/60th, where as I used to only dare try 150ish. Of to Wiscombe to watch the hillclimb there tomorrow, so I'll probably sort all the photos and stick them up at once.

Pete, the Volvo looks good. Needs more lows though ;)

Jolfa, the Audi looks awesome too, looks perfectly clean to me! Then again my car cleaning method is basically a bucket, a sponge and some cheap 'car shampoo' stuff. I've given up on any real attempts as my car's about 15 different shades of white, so even when done properly it stills looks crap, plus the paints starting to polish through in places. :( Ah well, it's fun to drive and 99.9% of people who see it will never notice!

If you look closely you'll notice the bumpers have had zero treatment and I only blasted the wheels with a jet wash briefly, no product applied to either area :)

I'll do you a proper build thread style write up next week B)
