    Water damaged 850 repair



    Used a wet vac to remove the bulk of the water and so we could take to the RR meet.



    Cleaned the new carpet with our commercial hot water extraction machine.



    Whilst on the clean up operation will painted the tired looking brakes.

    Tired plastics.

    And after a quick wash.

    Cheers.

    It wasn't to bad really, the worse part was initially sucking the water out, got absolutely cover in mud, it's handy we have a cleaning company so had access to the right equipment.

    Thanks James, it's still rough in places, desperately need new roof trims then will be getting a new bootlid, rear bumper painted and the wheels refurbed, but with our trip just round the corner these things have to wait.
