FINISHED!!!!
Ok so I know I had that original marathon 18 hour session when I first bought the car but I have now finished every mod, and had the bumper re-sprayed to get those pesky stonechips erredicated and so this weekend I went HELL FOR LEATHER all out and gave it a marathon detail....
See what you think...surely this has to be ONE OF the cleaner examples of this rare beast now???

I did this..... a little home made sound proofing to reduce the 'sonic boom' in the cabin
B&Q Bitumen flashing tape.... did such a great job on the Camper thought it couldnt hurt!
Love those alloys 
what are they? And I think I'm convinced now on getting eibachs.

Did it make an improvement?
Not bloody much no! Ha ha
It did deepen the rumble rather than rattling everything so I guess it did something but don't expect to make massive differences.
Beeb how do those fit? Can't see properly on the phone!

Decided to smarten up the headlamps as I felt they were the only thing letting the car down... SO... at the weekend I got this out...
.... I masked up..... Machined in some Menzerna Power Gloss (quite abrasive) short session and wipe, then repeated a few times so I did it gradually, and some Meguires PlastX and I'm quite pleased with the results!!!
....AND SPARKLING CLEAR AGAIN!!!
Sorry the cameraphone pics arnt brilliant as I couldnt get the shine to stop ruining the picture but you can see the difference!

Isn't this now up for sale? Such a shame, amazing looking car (not my cuppa on the wheels!) - so clean, just how I love mine! Cannot wait to get wheels refurb'd in a high power silver to really help the paint "pop" all over.

Yes mate, it is. As the advert says, I am not overly fussed if it doesnt go in time, as I do love it but I simply CANNOT pass up at least trying for the rare car I have been offered so I am testing the water.

Dont be offended but I dont want to say just yet as it IS advertised and I dont want to stir up too much interest in it! ha ha
I didn't see the last installment of your detailing from April - the photos look stunning - it's a really slick finish and I really like those wheels. Shame you are thinking of moving it on - as above, what can tempt you away from these lovely beasts?
