once you have done a proper minting of the outside and used something like autosmart mirror finish polish topped off with autosmart aqua you will find it stays clean much longer

nice straight car by the way

RaulCarnahan · Jul 30, 2012

Very nice example

atom0007 · Jul 30, 2012

love the colour

Ziggy122 · Jul 30, 2012

Well another Little update

Old ""chrome number plate surrounds"" off the mk2 punto

No longer shiny, no longer nice

Some Rubbing Down - So time - some spray - and there Looking alot better.....

Guess my colour theme outside?

And only at night you can spot the problem here....

Another little bit onto the list....

Nice example. I like the yellow but personally i think black suits the mk2b's the best! I think it needs some toning down with some black like you have already done with the number plate surrounds otherwise a very clean well looked after car.

Ah you noticed the subwoofer

Well it didnt come with it actually.... Shame i know
it was always meant for the mk2, but i never got to fitting it
So Mk2b got it instead
Fitted but NOT wired up

Funds dont allow at this moment in life
Eitherway - its out my room now and isn't been knocked about

Looking good!
Keep an eye on those areas susceptible to rust treat them now before any problems develop.

I've noticed a few little spots appearing on the underside of my 2004 cars so it's worth doing

Ziggy122 · Aug 1, 2012

when the weather finally dries up
its getting a kitchen brush scrub and clean and dry - before been waxyoil'd up to give another stop chip layer

the sills are the killers - so there going to be done properly

the car needs a proper clean tho

I bet you're a mk2b convert now, especially having a sporting model

The mk2 will always have a soft spot in my heart

But the mk2b is a much better replacement, its like that new pair of trainers you've always wanted, where as the old mk2 is the slippers you refuse to throw away

the mk2b is soo peppy - it better on fuel and i love the sporty looks

Mk2b ftw for now

hehe

no
killer is
rear floor pans
offside /nearside rear chassis where it meets back valance
floors to sill if not maintained
if caught early before rust gets in then all it needs it a tube of grease smearing on these places and topped up once a year as the grease keeps everything from drying out

i was unlucky i was hit by both
Floor plan and Sills

the sills had started to rot and produce holes

the floor was becoming flintstone line

Anyway - as i said - i will be cleaning the underside up and its getting a coat of Waxyoil to prevent it happening again

Another little Update

Well the Key didnt have any badges on it - neither did
So some cheap ones i still had from the Right click kit will do for now

Before

After

Bonnet Stay - looked Nice where it looked good, but corroded and nasty
Cant have that!

Sprayed Up looking lovely and shiny

But ultimate fail that it was super soft to the touch
Ripped apart withing seconds

Was rushed so it didnt dry properly underneath

So thats been pulled off the car again - having a super long dry period

My Numberplate fixing kit had arrived today

So off with the old Crusty Screws and covers and YUCK!

Finally the Surrounds have gone on

The Front Gutter Scuttle pannel was cleaned as well - it was ready as well

There is some Tar Spots that need attention
However i noticed the Wiper linkages were loose on a ball joint....
No point doing half of what i was planning to only get it out later this year

So Wait they shall
But none the less - it looks alot cleaner and brighter - and a quick over with some Carlack 69 to protect it till later this year

Thats it for now

Still a massive list to go
