Let the fun (spending!) begin!!

Had some of that sun stuff today! So got outside and clayed/polished the remaining panels.

Everything has polished up pretty well. As much as I would like to get a full respray, I just think it'd be a big waste of money, so only the bits that really need doing will get done - Bonnet, rear door, tailgate, front & rear bumpers and headlight trims. It should be going to the bodyshop week after next, all being well!

Also had chance to 'construct' the new grill! Fit the new wipers and washer jets!

Looking good Chris, has been a good day to get out and work on the cars, shame I've been busy with other things.

[AndysR]

Any updates Chris? Has she been into the bodyshop yet?

[S70T5Chris]

It's still there! He doesn't rush himself! I've been busy with work, and had a holiday but looking forward to getting back stuck in with this project! I'll go and see him this week and see how it's going, hopefully will get it back this week or next!

[AndysR]

Pictures attached to your next post or consider yourself expelled... Permanently!! Lol

[AndysR]

Any news on this Chris? The suspense is becoming unbearable... Lol

[S70T5Chris]

No mate, I'm getting pissed of tbh. The guy at the bodyshop has been on holiday for 3 weeks now. He should be back today, i'm giving him 2 weeks to get it finished or I'm taking the car as it is, an I'll take it somewhere else. I'm not really getting a huge amount done, but I made the mistake of saying that I wasn't in a rush and 2 months later, it's still sat there. It's taking the piss now.

The tax and MOT have both run out since it's been there, so it's currently sorn :-(

On a positive note, once it's back I have a definite plan of what I'm doing with it, and I have the money just to crack on and get the whole thing done.

The S60 is 100% going. That'll have to be broken, it's the only way I'll get any sensible money from it. A few of those parts will end up on the 850.

OK, I've moved a load of waffle from this thread to http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthre...ding!%29-begin!!

For discussion on Chris breaking his S60R please use that thread.

Just spoke to Tim, I need the cam cover that goes with it mate.

[S70T5Chris]

We have movement! LOL! I've been layed up for best part of a week with a ££££ed back, but popped in to see the sprayer guy today. It's very nearly done! Just need to fit the bumpers back on, and spray the door handles and mop it, so all being well it should be back early part of next week!

When I take the S60 up to Tims next week, I've got to pick up the fresh front seats. I also got a t5r gearknob and alcantara gaitor from Neal.

Really looking forward to getting it back now, and cracking on with getting the cosmetics A1. Then as soon as Tim can take it, get the goodies done!

[AndysR]

Good news, great to hear it's moved forwards some what
