That’s a fair price now. 12mths ago it might have been a $10k car.

Got under there today for a look. The exhaust is standard to the cats. Then standard twin pipes into single 3", then into a muffler, exists muffler as twin 2 ½ inch straight through to the back.

Drones heaps.

It's brand new.


New pads, new rotors, new front grill and badge.

It's had a doors closed re-spray, and it's pretty good. I'll have to remove some of the trims and get some 3000 grit onto the edges.

I've got a Calais roof loom coming so I'll add in the sun visors with mirror lights etc.

Tomorrow, I'm going to strip the interior out and begin a deep clean. It's going to be a nasty day here in Perth, so good job to get done.

I'm going to have a go at fitting VF seat belts in it.

Make sure you document all of this with plenty of pics and post them here.

Got most of the interior out. All the seats.
Have deep cleaned the headlining, done passages side interior with a All Purpose Cleaner Solution by Mothers. Two microfibres of grot used up. The trims have come up quite good. I'll give the whole lot another go over.

Only found 5cents. A disappointing haul.
Also found 7/16ths Stanley spanner and a pair of prescription glasses.
A tonne of white dog hair!

Used a foaming carpet cleaner on the carpets. Might give them a further going over with something else.

Parts of the seats, the leather is in really good condition, almost new looking. Seeing how the door trims have come up minus all the grease and schmutz after a clean, I'm hopeful the seats will look great.

Tomorrow will be the *Steering wheel* (uuuugggh) and the drivers side.

Then the seats in the week.

Seats will get a clean with APC, twice. Then a leather cleaner, then a leather conditioner treatment.

The bolster on the drivers side is a bit squashed (as they are all) so I'm thinking of getting a steamer onto it while the seat is out and see if that can reform it.

The interior.

The product I've used and its fantastic. I got a chunky paint brush from Bunnings to work it into the surfaces. Then use a microfibre to pull the schmutz and grot out.

Here's one of the seats out. Has a lot of work to be done on it.

The carpets have come up well. Still smell a little, but not a lot like before.
The dash and door have been done as I mentioned.

The doors were all shiny, dirty and greasy.

As you have gone to the trouble of getting the seats out, and strip the covers off while doing the steamer trick, swap over the base foams passenger > driver to get the well used bolster sides up against the console.
