Lots at the moment Matt. But having said that i havent even cleaned the polish/wax outlines off yet. Im gonna wait till i have the whole thing bare and then hit it with some Poorboys Bugsqush to rid any glue residue. Once i have it back to bare paint i'll hit it with the clay and then she'll want some rotary love

Glad to see you're back 'on it' Frayz, what about some nice dark wheels (or refurb your's they are one of my fave's
).
Keeping it subtle will suprise a lot of people who think its standard then

Well i guess i owe you all a small update on the car.
Work has started on the car and im doing bits here and there when i get time. I spent 3 days with a heat gun carefully removing all the vinyls from the car and now have the painstanking task of glue removing and polishing every panel inch by inch.
Getting the car back to the way i want it will be a slow process but at least im on it now...
But heres a quick peek to show you that she is still very much alive and a shape of things to come.
Watch this space...

Good to see you have got the passion for it again !
It came up well after the wash, nice and shiny. So shiny I can see the reflection of the TWO buckets you used to wash it, good man !! Always good to see someone doing it properly, I guess we should'nt be suprised as everything else you do seems to be top notch !

Small update,
100% of the car is now fully devinyled and 90% deglued... i'll continue on this when i get a moment.
As for today i decided to drop the 2ltr long block back in and start mocking up the up-pipe/downpipe arrangement and finding out where the turbo will sit best.
The motor is sat on her mounts and bolted up to the bellhousing. The manifolds are on and i have a dummy up-pipe in place with the turbo loosely bolted up.
I have lots of fab work to do but at least she has a motor in here and the turbo system is under construction.
Heres a sneeky peek of todays work
