I must resist.

Couldn't resist getting the Meguires on the body work again today...... Don't tell Duane, he'll be wanting it back soon (valeting surcharge)........

Oh, and I forgot to mention the day, I did a stop-gap fix for the torn drivers seat. Yes that's right, I really did Loctite superglue the damn thing as best as possible. I also did the V70 one which turned out a lot better as it was less torn.

Well, I thought if I had this idea I should 'stick' to it........

The mats (there was only 3 when I got the car

) were given the washing machine treatment last week and I've put them back in today (sorry for the blurry images).......

lovely car mate and you've done a cracking job on cleaning it looks very smart now just a shame its a dirty derv haha

Haha the drivers seat on my D5 is glued too, it's horrible, God knows what abuse my car got to burst the seat.

**p fandango** · Wednesday 23rd July 2014, 08:20

the floor mats were a cheap set off ebay think the drivers one came apart

I glued the seat in my Green S60, then when I went to get it repaired properly, the guy wasnt happy as he bent lots and lots of needle re-doing the seam

He also said Super Glue will rot the material...............yes material, its not leather on the bolster, only where your body is in contact with the seat is leather

Looking lovely and "clean" for a change. Will look even better with "proper" wheels on

Thanks for all the positive comments, the car does look a lot better now and it's cost hardly anything to do either. There's some scratches over it which I'll touch in with some touch-up paint form Volvo, then wet sand the area and polish and wax, it's something I did on the T5 and it improved the appearance of the car ten-fold.

The inside looks night and day different, I even impress myself when I get in to the car. With the glovebox cover, I can either re-upholster the surface with just the coating or get a tidy one from a breakers. I just need a cup holder to go in to the dash next to the radio and a few lightbulbs for the DIM and the inside will be looking a lot better for not very much money at all.

Oh, I love the 'little jobs'.
