New wheels ordered. :D :D :D

This is the finish on a 30 year old steering wheel. :) Before During After

Thanks, this is the kit I brought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251378275765?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Just take your time when doing it, and good prep, makes for a good finish. :D

Brought a leather refurb kit to do my RS 4 spoke steering wheel. Had loads left over, so I repaired the steering wheel in the Freelander. Before All done, and leather protector applied. Also found a collar, so I could tie the top the gear lever gaiter up.

Washed and waxed, to get rid of all the dust from prep and paint. :D

Cheers, I had them on my old Freelander. On the 16" alloys. They come with 2 sizes of removal tools too. :)

Yeah, spot on. Tried one to start with, to make sure I could remove them. :)

22mm wheel nut covers, greased inside to cover my rusty nuts lol :D

Rubbish service that, my mk3 Escort had manual choke and my old mk3 fiesta. I prefer carb engines, took me the best part of a year to get the efi engine running right. It's a nippy little car now though, only 110 bhp but car weighs less than 800kg. :)

No Pompey, its a 1.6 cvh efi engine. It's a nightmare to find parts sometimes. Have you tried Ford, as sometimes if the is obsolete. They'll give you the last finis code. Then Google that number, normally you'll find the part. Good luck with your search. :)

Cheers mate, love doing jobs like that. And other things, but don't always have time. :D

Cheers mate, I'm well happy with the result. :D

After a flat and polish. :D

Repair all done, happy with the result. Just needs a polish up tomorrow afternoon. :D Scratches removed. Primered, was sanded down before base coat. Base coat, sanded then lacquered.

Prep is the most important part, for a good finish. I'm alright at small body work repairs, but don't think I'd attempt a whole car. :)

Sand down, then plastic filler primer, primer, paint, lacquer. They don't look too deep, but filled with touch up paint. Was going to blend it in. But better to do full panel. Thought about popping the panel off, but knowing my luck I'd break the hole thing lol lol......theres some bad touch...

Got 2 new exhaust hangers welded on today, original exhaust is solid. Just hangers were near enough hanging off. :) Also sorting this bad repair tomorrow by a previous owner. Done a test, with white and gray primer. And to check colour match. Gray primer is the closest. So hopefully...

Haha......no worries mate, yeah we seem to be on the same wave length lol.....good luck with the MOT. :D

Cheers mate, I've got a mk4 Escort as well. That takes priority over the Freelander. :D Cool, you need to start a build thread. So everyone can see your progress...... I Re-fitted my light guards earlier. And made myself a new rivnut tool. M5 X M6. :D Simple but effective.

Ok, no probs. Thanks anyway mate. :)
