Clay bar Autoglym SRP or Poorboys Blackhole glaze Autoglym extra gloss protection sealant Poorboys natty pastewax. That should give you a good finish and then keep it good by washing with a microfibre mitt & dry by patting down with a waffle towel & finishing with a microfibre. Reapply wax every couple of months.

Ok I haven't touched or even looked at this car in months. It's costing me £40 a month to store so I need it gone. First person with £1000 & a trailer takes it away

mmmmmmmmmmm me likey 14 inch bbs rims same as mine too Cheers, mine are 15" though and I'm going to go 16" as I think they're too small, especially with low profile tyres & lowered.

Sold the Jetta at the weekend, now rolling in this...

The student riots. I was in Wetherspoons eating a curry

They'll look lovely on my Bimmer as well when I finally sell the Jetta

You're only gonna break the halfshafts or diff which are all cheap & easy to replace

Yeah it's a great project, good luck with it

I'm so sick of hearing about the Prince William wedding...... I'm seriously tempted to release Maddie just to get the posh twat off tv!

Nice, used to live down there & my housemate had a lovely mk1 Escort. My first RWD experience was overtaking a corrado into the roundabout at the top of the big hill leading out of town. Hanging onto the rollcage thinking I was gonna die as he flicked the back end out & we drifted all the way around staring at the centre

Gotta love a burnout! They're best done sat at the lights

Mine came with them on & they look very skinny. Not sure I have any pics though.

Good plan, you want to have a go?

Sorry to hear that mate. No cosolation but sounds like you handled it pretty well & I definatly would't say you were a wimp

Not done anything major on this, just cleaning back the metal & cutting out. It's getting there though & I'll start getting new metal in soon although I'm moving house so it's gonna be slow progress. Here's a pic of my mate Paul (who I bought the car from) doing a bit of grinding to keep the thread alive

You can't stop on zig-zags full stop. It's not a matter for the council to decide. It's a law & approved in a document by parliment. I have all the documents here as I design road signs & road marking layouts, if I get a chance I'll look it up for you. Most of it is available online, if you google TSRGD chapter 5 it'll have details of the specifications. Your only chance of getting away with it really is if the markings have been laid incorrectly & are not to standard.

I was gonna say, what's the pope got to do with Christianity

Rust! Take a magnet...

Cleaned it up a bit, removed the fuel tank & started cutting bits out today Few more bits to cut up then I can make up some repair sections & weld them in

Not really got a lot done on this. Just been stripping the rear end & digging out any rot. It's pretty bad below where the battery box sat in the boot, and the rear quarter below that. You gotta love sweeping your car up from the floor Ah well, picked up an SIP 150 turbo mig from a car boot sale for £15 so I'll get cracking on it soon. Off work with a bruised coccyx after a drunken bicyle accident so it can't do a lot right now.

Nothing will have more rust or need welding more than an old ford
