Little session on the car today with some help from a man in Cambridgeshire. Five hours later, clay, cutting compound, polish and wax and done.

This morning's shenanigans... arrived at Jim's place last night to complete brake failure.

4 quid later and a new line to the servo and were good to go again. Green bitch... nah black bitch!

Gaffa tape would have also fixed that

Jim with his gigs on, pretending to know what he's doing!

Someone should tell him that's the throttle housing.

Actually, i bet he was trying to nab the spindle for his!

Really chuffed, by chance encounter at retro ade had some 99.9% isopronanol which has done this...

Well cars been running a absolute treat lately, really happy. Took her for a blast today and it reminded me how fun these are

I did spot a minor fuel leak though and tracked it down to the o rings between the injectors and inlet manifold.

Thought I better take a trip to Volvo to prevent this....

Quite ammused on arrival at Volvo and after the parts man entered the reg he said... "Is it outside, can I have a look?". Seems he hadn't seen one for a long time. Most of the service department came to look too I think.

15 minutes of chatting I left.

Have to love the T5-R for this, certainly wouldn't get that with a Daewoo matiz!!!

TC the only other car anyone has ever commented on was my black T5-R saloon and that was a kid at KFC lol

All in tool about ten hours but that was crawling about and with a couple of trips out for parts we needed. Now we've done it once I'd say probably 7-8 hours to do a tidy install.
