Finally bought myself an s body at long last, set out to work on it straight away...car had full interior when i got it so first job was to take everything out of it and then remove the sound deadening...what a job this was dont want to do that for a very long time again!! Started to treat some surface rust in boot with wire brushes and rust remover and then waxoyled it....done a right job was impressed with it. Then started to spray it but didnt get it all finished but im in no rush anyway...intend to use car for track only so ill be doing things slowly on her!! heres a few pics anyway didnt take any until today raging now i didnt take some earlier.... heres where its at now anyway paint looks a bit dull and dirty havent lacquered it yet...its on a very long to do list :rolleyes:

Sound deadening is a right pain in the cunt alright.

What's the plans for the car? Pics of the outside? Where you planning on sliding it?

It sure is glad its done now :)

To be honest theres enough spec on it to keep me happy for a while few little bits underneath and small things on engine is all I'll be doing for the moment then of course the safety necessities. Id say yas will recognise it when i put up an outside pic ill try do it now still getting used to uploading on this site, im starting from the inside and working my way out...just want to get it all sealed up first anyway surface rust in places but its fixable... start in goldstone or the yard in tullow anyway id say then portlaoise then maybe try mondello...take it step by step

Yeah thats the one! Thanks... Everybody thought it was your one first when i brought it home, i keep having to argue with people that its purple not pink! Plans are to give it socks now just keeping it for track use so few little bits and then get as much seat time as possible!!
