Gave her a bath
« on: 18 November 2008, 22:21:51 »
After the work I have done to her lately I thought I would give the old girl a "quick" wash which soon turned into a 6 hour job ;D :D



Even cleaned and dressed the engine bay  :)


Scared her with the old hoover too



Pretty impressed with the final result. Not bad for a 9 year old motor.

Yep -- same here -- love the lights, not too sure about the grille. Personally I would lose the "V" altogether --- other than that, she scrubs up really well  :y

AFAIK not without ditching the grille for a new one --- I have a spare knocking around I might have a poke and prod to see what gives and let you know

That has come up fantastically!

I'm liking the lights but not the grill I'm afraid...
