Been meaning to post this up since early September (as you can see by the weather).

Colin contacted me to detail his car after it had sat in his garage unwashed for quite a few months while the engine was built.

It's Mica Black Classic with swirls all through the paint and some scratches along the tops of the wings from working unprotected on the engine.

The way the car arrived -









First thing was to give it a full spray with hyperwash to break everything down -





Then the car was washed using the 2 bucket method with Meg's shampoo plus, a lambswool mitt and dried using pakshak waffle weave towels.

Once complete, the car was cleaned using autosmart tardis and then clay bar'd.

After all this it was time to tape her up -









Was so busy, forgot to take photo's of the swirls, however, you can just make some out in that last photo.

Next were the wheels which were cleaned with Meg's Wheel Brightener, sealed with Poorboys Wheel Sealant and the tyres were dressed with Blackfire long lasting tyre gel.

Before -







After -








The car was then machine polished with my trusty G220, and Menz RD 3.02. After this it was polished again with Menz 106 before being sealed with Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection and wax'd with Blackfire Midnight Sun.

The trim was cleaned with All Season Dressing and the Glass with Megs Nxt Generation glass cleaner.

The finished reasult, and believe me, it goes as well as it looks!!!

 

Damm that's a good looking car. Not a patch on the owner mind

 

Good work and a ****ing nice car!

 

stunning mate

 

colin....do all you guys up north drive subarus

 

Yes mate, we do. They're absolutely everywhere up here. Most of them are 500 pluss too

 

Stunning fella, mines better though...

 

cracking results mate.

 

Lovely work chaps, well done! Makes me yearn for the summer now... it looks so warm in the piccies, and it was bloody freezing in the unit today!

 

About time it was cleaned lol Looks mega mate... Still going strong???
Under bonnet pics???

 

I think ive been in this car?!?! It was a bit low on power, and the gears whined alot- probably needs a recon box.

 

That'll be the one!!!

 

That's what you get for buying a secondhand gearbox off a pikey. As for low on power the fatso in the back wa weighing it down quite a bit (you, not your good lady before I get myself in trouble).

Under bonnet not a shiney as the outside so best not to show myself up.

 

Thats seeing all the pics you've seen of my old Type R
Eva way mate... its about time we saw under bonnet pics... What turbo you running now???

The 2.35 still going strong I'd have another tommorrow money depending... I really miss mine seeing your pics...

 

Motor is still a honey.

Still on the garrett 30/40r and I can't see that changing any time soon as it's a really good match. There are some off season changes coming but nothing major, just some minor tweaks.

 

Col,

i didnt know you were an avid rally spectator!! (See22B Picture Gallery))

 

Very funny. I'll be sure to do the same for you one day
