I recently picked up my new supercharged 6, thanks to Pete for a straight forward deal and to Ash for doing a lot of driving on a Monday night to collect it from Kent!
I've had french hatches since I was 18 including:
The plan is to keep this one and develop it, she's an unfinished project but essentially a good car with a freshly built high boost engine
Home safely and gave her a clean and Meguirs 3 stage the bring the paint up
Work begins, first removing cage
Bucket seat out, frame was fixed with 3 bolts and a zip tie and was p**sed so gonna weld the seat frame in nice and square
Started sanding down cage
I'm going to spray the cage black along with the rest of the interior, which first had to be stripped of sticky bitumen underseal type paint that had been applied, everywhere.
Started here, note the differnce between the clean bits and the deep mahogany of the underseal
The rest took a Saturday, several evenings, 4 litres of white spirit, 10 old T-shirts, a lot of sweat and a sh!t load of patience
Next to tackle the floor insulation in the front by soaking it in white spirit to soften it up then scrape and chisel off
looks a bit like burnt donner meat
The result
General clean up behind lights etc
Removed all rubber seals and put them in the washing machine for a clean up
