Well its got a fairly new backbox - but middle pipe went, replaced under its warrenty Given him a darn good clean and wash, but lasts all of 5 mins been yellow ![]() Pulled all the roof gutter seals out and cleaned the rubbish out from there Also had the windows screen trim rubber and cleaned all around there ![]() what i wanna do is get everything cleaned up, tidy alot up add a few features i want back in ![]() But here we go ![]() So i did the roof gutters - they were really really ready.... which means all the cack runs down the rear lights..... So out they come 1hr later they are all cleaned - dried and waxed to prevent it getting bad anytime soon Keep posted ![]() Ziggy

I think it needs some toning down with some black like you have already done with the number plate surrounds otherwise a very clean well looked after car.

![]() | Re: Meet Bumble-Bee Looking good! Keep an eye on those areas susceptible to rust treat them now before any problems develop. I've noticed a few little spots appearing on the underside of my 2004 cars so it's worth doing

Posts: 16,588 Thanks: 912 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Meet Bumble-Bee The mk2 will always have a soft spot in my heart But the mk2b is a much better replacement, its like that new pair of trainers you've always wanted, where as the old mk2 is the slippers you refuse to throw away the mk2b is soo peppy - it better on fuel and i love the sporty looks Mk2b ftw for now ![]() ziggy

Posts: 7,584 Thanks: 543 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Meet Bumble-Bee killer is rear floor pans offside /nearside rear chassis where it meets back valance floors to sill if not maintained if caught early before rust gets in then all it needs it a tube of grease smearing on these places and topped up once a year as the grease keeps everything from drying out http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multi-grea...item4168a1f1cc
