Hard work?

[Sean]

It\'s a sand paper wheel (very large dremmel ) made of lots of flaps:p

[grinder]

ah right - i have one of them

is that for the inital sanding ?

and i have bought a dremmel sized on for the fiddly bits ( was in the bargain bin of the B&Q for £1.66 ) - the sanding thing no the dremmel !!

[Sean]

I used the wheel to remove the nipples

I then used the dremmel to reach the parts that other sander couldn\'t reach;)

I then used the wet n\' dry to remove the mess I had made

I then used a half a kilo of peek metal polish (other types of polish are available)

[sadgoth]

looks good mate, mmmmm shiney!

I might have to have a go, we could have a \'TII bling inlet manifold award\' (maybe a bad idea some mad person would paint theirs gold!)

[grinder]

or green ( with radiator paint ! )

[sadgoth]

What is it with this Green thing Stu?

Next thing you\'ll be telling us is you\'ve painted the car Kermit Green!

[grinder]

im going for a black and green theme not sure why yet

fingers crossed its a black car and it will end up with

1 - green under car neons
2 - green footwell neons
3 - green brake clalipers
4 - green sticker on the back ( done that bit )
5 - green door handle lights

im sure i will find something else

[sadgoth]

have a good holiday!

[Sean]

Have fun matey:D

looks like a sand paper flapper wheel thingy to me...
I always use best elbow grease mixed with midnight oil for jobs like this....

[jetpilot]

If you guys check out say Demon Tweeks for motorcycles brochure they do full on polishing kits, soap, polishing wheels etc etc and they are not that expensive. It takes out a lot of the elbow grease invovled. Did my bike frame, swingarm etc etc. Certainly easier than sandpaper.

hey Paul TII,

i noticed in that pic of yours, was that your previous TII?? apart from take the engine out, how did you get the engine bay so clean?? i cant reach down to some areas, so only have cleaned my wheel arch part, and the firewall behind the engine,

[Paul-Tll]

Just cleaned by hand a little at a time half hour here and there,
over several years.
The car was sold to \'Loxam\' last Nov.ish who is /was on here.
I believe the car is for sale at the mo.

So how many people are now in the process of polishing their engine?:rolleyes:

[Initial-D]

I cheated and had someone else do mine...:p
