Default Cleaning Marathon
Okay, so the car has been off the road since Christmas, has had some work done and has recently been taxed and MOT'd but needs a little TLC prior to the Uxbridge Show - I do need to get the rear bumper resprayed after some **** has hit it and driven off...

Anyway, this is how it stands now ready for some serious cleaning tomorrow


















Episode 2 tomorrow

the only way to make that look better is by burning it.
