How does that windscreen look from inside, as i can see a few slight scratches on it, my plexi rear window has some scratching and it gives a haze glare etc..
Looks like your really starting to get things together now mate, just a quick question, what was the start weight of the car when you bought it, and what has it decreased to now?

Good shout on an Anderson setup :thumb:
colin, i can't remember if you run an alternator or not?
No, the wiper arm has to be there at all times.Quote:

I'm going to hold fire until I strip the whole car for re-painting, and then I will bond in a new screen and do away with the heavy rubber.
When I got the car it was 614kg (if memory serves correctly), and now it is roughly 565kg, subject to a final weighing when it all goes back together again, and my scales come back from being loaned out yet again!
Nope, no alternator.Quote:

I did have some of this polish, but the bodyshop who I used for the polishing job managed to lose it (!).
In the end they did it with a very fine cutting/polishing compound on an electric mop. It came up really well, obviously you've got to be very careful not to burn/scratch the surface.
Thats the stuff..
Cheers Colin.

Brasso works really well too.
