A Little Loving
Thought it was about time I gave some attention to the P1.
The car is going to be treated to a full respray as soon as funds allow , so I thought I should start getting to grips with various bits and bobs. Decided to start by cleaning and painting the inner arches, then clean shocks, calipars and wheels . Pleased with the results, *1 down, 3 to go |

Looking good Martyn,
Paint the arches out with White Smoothrite, it will look great (done it on my Series 1 years ago) and it's very good protection too. |

Mmmm that's a thought , brush or can ? I'm really thinking about taking strut off, stripping hub off , that way I can paint right up inside the strut turret . |

Takes about 2 or 3 coats to get it good enough that it just sponges down. Then just freshen up with another coat every 12-18 month. This was silver smoothrite on my classic : |

A little more time spent on the scoob ,
Another corner sorted out , plus changed drivers glass for a much better condition one . The original was severely scratched in the usual classic places . Found this , connected to speaker and tweater! |

Coming along well mate
How old are the shocks on the car, either you've got some magic formula or they're quite new as theres no way i could get my 2 year old KYB shocks to look anything like that good! |

They are just over 2 yrs old mate.
Steve was as anal as me , so they have been well looked after. |
