The Red VZ

I also noticed yesterday that the lower rear trim (the one on the outer rear corners) uses a Coupe (Monaro/GTO) bracket screwed to the body.

Engine bay tidy as. All wiped down and cleaned.

Buuuut Nek Minut.

I take the bumper off.

You know I’m not happy with that grot.

Much better.
*However, I am uncertain of the story with that dent in the condenser. It's going to have to remain there and be a blight on the entire car.

All because I’m going to re finish the lights.

If you think using tooth paste and using WD40 is how it’s done you can go and get fkd.

This will be done well. I’ll be doing successive grades of wet and dry to remove the ingrained material, imperfections and remaining layers of protective coating. Then polish and finish using the Duplicolor UV headlight coating. Perfection.

You do know there are specialists out there that can talk you through this?
Damn you! You just make my car look like s@#t!

They can try. I’ll just go outside and show them their car and how much grot is on it.

Did this with the fire going out the front. Neighbours all having a chat and some beers. Kids playing all around. A nice arvo. Nice night.

6.6L doesn't that annoy you, Can't just buy one 6L bottle. I find Black Thunder annoying in that it takes 8.3L. Can't buy Penrite 10w 40 in 10L so have to buy 2 x 5L or wait for something else to come on sale. I bought 2 x 6L Nulon full syn from Autobarn for less than I could get 2 x 5L bottles of Penrite, even with 30% off at SCA. I actually will have enough oil left at the next service that I can just buy x 1, 5L Nulon 10w 40. Hopefully Nulon comes on sale again or I will be needing to buy something else, and will have to pay $90 just for oil. Old ute I could buy whatever I liked and more often than not it was some Gulf Western when it was on sale, and 5L IIRC was enough with a little left for top ups.

I buy the penrite 20L bottles on special.
Apart from lack of windscreen stickers, it's alot more convenient over time.

I do the same penrite 20L on special also got a pump.
Pump oil into 2x5L (3L in one and 4L in the other) got my right 7L. for the car.

Do you use the poly light protectors on your cars ?
