Wiper Refrub

Making a start on tidying the bodywork up a bit now my coilovers are on the way and my wheels are getting refurbed

Started off with the wipers as they were looking a bit weathered



Started off my attacking them with this

It's pretty useless... So I upgraded



Which was better.
After some agitation with a toothbrush and a stanley blade I ended up with this



Then for the paint. This is what I used.



Etch Primed.



Primer.



Paint.



Finished result.



It's not 100%. But its alot better than it was

Once on the car you wont notice any imperfections and they will look great

Good job Mart. A bit overkill for me though.
I rub mine down with progressively finer wet and dry to shiney metal, clean the muck of with a microfibre cloth then smoothrite them they last about 2-3 years

Some progress.

Wheels have been sent off for refurb.
got a update pic the other day of the centres starting to get painted.



Also I picked these up yesterday



A MASSIVE thanks to @rob quilter for sourcing these for me, Top bloke!

Some nice work going on here mate, I've just removed the wipers from the aerodeck I'm breaking, gonna do the same I think.

more progress.
Started fitting the Tein coilovers yesterday.

Opening the box



Doing the rear first

One side off


other side off


Have to use my existing top mounts and I didn't have any spring compressors. so had to wait till today to use the ones at my mates garage so had to leave it like this yesterday



Swapped the top mounts over lunchtime so fitted the rear tonight

one side back on


Then it started hammering it down with rain (completely my luck as aways) so I just had time to fit the other side before getting soaked



I've left the fronts for tomorrow as I couldn't be bothered to sit in the rain.
