Rear seat row full of new parts :bounce:

Fitting all stuff back from Monday, hippo should be able to drive around Wed. After first test drive we will fix other smaller damages.

Then it needs a good washing, as it's covered by layer of 4 weeks dirt. - But still have some of Shine

In small box we've got gearbox parts - Clutch shaft, yoke ect. And in large box is new gear change rod

Time for shine after all those workshops ect. Shineeee

This is how you should talk with your LR - on knees

Need to repeat five times...

But effect is glamorous

Wheel job is about 2 - 2,5 hrs.

Next - time for body, after 6 hrs.
Here we got proper mirror shine effect on 14 yrs old hood

and the same on side doors

A shiny Hippo :hippie:

So... Soon i receive Simon's hoses. Preparation started

Starting to polish engine elements. You can see the difference, but this is not a final effect. I need to use higher gradation sand papers (for this i use a 1000 and 1500)

Bling must be :love:
