You are welcome to visit any time :D ...................... think you may be pushed fitting it all in ;)

Liz agreed to my collecting Lego, because it was "nice and small" :evil4:


Have just added another collector's series model to the garage. :D

Thought the Tie Advance needed some company................................






picked up an early model (produced in 2000) of the Tie Interceptor. :D :D :D

They make a nice pair:

Still need to sort out a new display shelf for them. 8)

On a more car related note, these are waiting in my garage:

Image

Thanks to FPS for sorting these out for me (Y)

Look forward to getting them fitted in the next few weeks. :D

Have had a wonderful birthday and day off today, did get some more Lego :roll:

and Liz bought these for my garage floor :love5:

Image

So I spent a few hours laying them this afternoon:

Image

a quick reflection before moving the F back inside:

Image

nearly finished, just need to cut the last set of tiles to fit along the top edge:

Image

Really pleased with how they went down, and how they look. :D

I will take some more pics when the F is cleaned up properly ;)

Cheers,
Liz and I are pleased with how well the tile pattern looks :D

I also had my new Goodridge braided brake lines fitted this week, not noticed a huge difference yet,
probably need a good spirited drive 8)

The F went to my mechanic on her spare ZXi wheels, gave me a chance to wash my main set.
As well as repair some chips and re-wax them inside and out.

Have come up nicely, will need to strip them back again to remove some more alloy corrosion. :(

A few more pics after re-fitting the wheels:

Reflection of the floor tiles in the wheel face and wheel nuts: ;)

Then from the front:

and down at the splitter level:

:D

I probably won't fit the bonnet protector, personally feel that it spoils the line of the bonnet into the front bumper :?
as well as possible damage to the bonnet from the metal clips that fix the protector in place :roll:

I'm just happy to have a rare part in my garage. 8)

Have just bought my ticket for JAE this year :D :D :D

thought I had better start cleaning.......................................... :evil4:

Removed the washer jets to sort out some fine scratches in the bonnet,
paint cleaned, ultimate compound with the DA, then polished and waxed.
Came out well:

Image

cleaned a build up of wax in the jets and re-waxed the covers before replacing:

Image

Image

Spotted this last one with the jet looking like an Owl :roll:

Image

Still thinking about having the jets removed and smoothed over when the bonnet is repainted :D

I can't believe how clean you BA is, the paintwork is like glass

I bet that is one if not the cleanest BA in the country

The pic from in the grass is my new desktop 8)

Cheers again for the comments :D

Have wanted to tackle the buIld up of sticky residue on the rear tailgate hinges for a while now :roll:
finally got round to it a couple of evenings ago.

WARNING DIRTY PIC :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:


















NO REALLY :shock: :shock: :shock:
















Image

After about an hour with Megs bug and tar remover, toothbrushes, cotton wool buds, detailing swabs and microfibre cloths.
The hinges and surrounding areas were then treated to a coat of wax.
Still a little way to go, but much improved: :D

Image

even a reflection :evil4:

Image

:D
