Just got to save up enough to get stuck into the mechanicals as the boat anchor is currently treating itself and most the the underside of the car with anti corrosion.
A quick update

With finally getting some good weather I attacked the car with a cocktail of Zymol auto wash, Mequires smooth surface kit and Canuba wax and I'm very impressed with the results.

Red E30 at its finest!
Thanks for all the replies fellas. Just wish the engine bay and underneath was as clean
It was sprayed early March and it's the first chance/weather i've had to give it a proper polish (been itching to ever since it came on the road).
It was done on Sunday by hand, i have no fingerprints left. lol. Despite the new paint it still took me around 3.5 hours.
I can't recomend the smooth surface and Canuba combination enough. After claying I used the "cleaner wax" supplied in the kit to remove the residue. At this point the paint started to look clean and smooth but it only started to become really refletive when the Canuba was added.
However one short run has already peppered the front with flies.

Thanks mate, it's getting there slowly. How you getting along?csl wrote:I have seen this in the flesh (before polishing thou) and it is a very nice car !
Well done Eddie.
I'm still in a world of pain with the exhaust at the moment I really wish i'd stuck with genuine. It's cost me £700 to date and it's in a right state.
That looks ace 
what type of red is it? it looks darker than brilliant red.

Standard suspension mate. I like the stance as they are and i want to keep it a comfortable cruiser, my last car was lowered just 30mm and that broke your back, also with all the trouble i'm having with the exhaust i'm at my whits end with aftermarket parts.Forsman wrote:Looked kinda high in the front to me! What feathers are those? Is it 60/40?
Car looks great anyway! I'm jealous!
OEM FTW
Except the wheels, I wouldn't change them. lol
