itsagoodalife Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Looks great , I need to do mine , did you just use a finishing pad on DA ? Quote
Craigieboy Posted July 5 Posted July 5 No I just used a Scholl concepts purple pad. Removed all the swirls no problem and finished off with a turtle wax spray wax, I'm really happy with the results. It's not perfect and tbh I never chase perfection when detailing, too dangerous I just look to make a good improvement. A mate had the paint on his new GR86 ruined by a detailer chasing perfection, had to get painted. 1 Quote
Flying Carrot Steve Posted July 5 Posted July 5 I should get on and do mine, looks like a good result. And you're right, chasing perfection is dangerous. I once heard a brain surgeon say 'perfection is the enemy of good' So true. Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted July 5 Posted July 5 I’ve just re-fitted our en suite shower room, when I last did it I built in some custom made cupboards with mirrored doors, the silvering was getting a bit the worse for wear, so off came the old and new mirrors fitted. Quote

It only had a spike with it and a rather large base which you fill with water, so I thought I would make something more compact from bits and bobs I had around the garage, but mainly some aluminium tube from a broken camping chair, some threaded rod and a couple of blocks of wood. (EDIT aswell as the bit from the spike that the flag mounts on). After a couple of false starts, this one works well, just needs a sand down and a coat or two of paint. This is my version. Flat plate with a bolt tapped through and a steel bar screwed onto it. Quote

Euan Hoosearmy Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Belts swapped. Red to blue and more importantly "pull down" so you don't have to get out to adjust lap belts. Thanks to @GarethS09 for selling me the belts. And yes, I did sort the handbrake adjustment out whilst the seats were out.. 4 Quote

My belts are pull down, still can't adjust the lap strap while I'm sat in the car. Quote

We are still working on that dam Mustang, LOL 1 Quote

Euan Hoosearmy Posted July 6 Posted July 6 @Flying Carrot Steve i think it depends on girth, the rounder you are the more space between buckle and siides for achieving adjustment... being somewhat skinny, i found i had to undo the belt to adjust the lap strap. With the old belts I was sitting on the adjuster so no hope of alteration unless you got out.. 1 Quote

I have a V8 bonnet, didn't realise they were almost a grand and half! 😳 Quote
