Mazda-Menders

Went to see Rupert the car today. I can honestly say he looks bloody amazing! The engine looks like piece of modern art that you could eat your dinner off! The dials inside really look good and now sound from the new audio system is amazing. New wheels get their tyres on Monday! The suspension has now been finished and Wayne is getting it aligned next week. Today the central locking is in and sorted! I am over the moon! Wayne you are the best!

It's the only way i know how, there is loads of bits and pieces i have sorted but, does not need pics , she called here yesterday and the smile on her face was ace even Dave got it
It is nice to just get on with it and get one right and i am just left alone to do what i do best like with yours, but this one as a story behind it now as you know, with the OC being more concernerd about thier image and putting their heads in the sand instand of looking after a member as it should be as a club, but thats another story and as done them no favours in my book yet again , but this thread is not for that topic.

I have not been able to get smile off my face! it's just so good
to have someone I know I can trust and really knows his stuff
It's been fantastic seeing the Rupert the car developing and coming
back to life and his former glory! I am off to West Yorkshire now to pick him up
a hard top ready for winter!

That looks stunning.... Excellent job as usual.

Thinking either I should move west and drop my roadster in at Waynes, or he could move east??

Loving the pictures, thought mine was cleanish under the bonnet but then I saw Rupert's innards!!

Undersealing done and all trim back on, dash board resprayed and ready to run down tomorrow for his new tyres and pick up and drop with the lads at Toyota....hw moons in Wigan for alignment, and now thanks to Paula yet again when i thought i was all finished, adding mushroom bolts and side clamps for the new hard top so spanners out to remove the style bar and side trims to attack with a dremmal

Daryl (mini mm) putting the fuel filter cover back on...



Dash board under coat on.....





Daryl still trying to get the fuel cover on......



Top coat on the dash.....



Done....



Paula do not add polish on it for a week or so while it fully goes off please.
M-m

Oh and Daryl finished putting the fuel filter cover back on
