Iwan Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, a little inspiration has hit me today.Tomorrow will i'll be busy taking the engine out so I can start waxing the engine bay and re-spraying the block and the sump. All the hoses will be getting the pampering treatment too!The following week will consist of pressure washing the underside then polishing and waxing to finish it all off. A big job but i'm hoping the results will make it all worth while . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Your plans sound good mate, i think you need to have alot of photos posted up, and what ive seen of your photography so far, im sure you can come up with some good shots Once the engine bay and underside are both done, get her some new SR decals - same colours, just un-faded/un-polished ones Really looking forward to your progress as I'm someone who has an attention to detail disorder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SJS should help me with that though.Now your just nitpicking . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Basically they would trace your old ones, scan it and then print off in the sizes and stuff wanted, its complicated, my school has all the facilities for it.Nitpicking is the best part of attention to detail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
