Difference is, mine needed to be taken in darkness to see the change, yours... er :pac:

Yours is diesel so it should just be kept in the dark and never let out.......

Yellow plate woud be more appropriate,

Did a bit tonight, got the head off, its on the bench now waiting to be stripped and cleaned

Got some led bulbs for the number plate lights on the civic, also replaced one of the headlight bulbs. Really easy access thank god. Gave the bonnet a polish and compound, looks like the car will shine up pretty easily.

Here's an engine!

She's clean!!!!!!!!!!

Not too bad after 123,000 miles:eek:

Today I swapped out the broken shock absorber & coil on my '93 corolla... to a newer, less broken one. It's an improvement but hardly ideal. Will have to find another one, bah.

At last, at long bloody last, some mechanical work as opposed to cleaning and detailing!!!

:D:D

Deterred the sides with Wurth tar remover. Not bad stuff
Claybar
Compound
Polish
Put shiney stuff on the wheelarches
Gave the dash a quick wipe.

No they did not! love that gen. civic though

Back to the 406 :P

Annoying blow in exhaust was annoying

It's not great, I'm not happy with it but for now that's problem solved

Adjusting a very high idle!

When all that was done, time to give it a bit of a clean. Starting with that awful glue

Then the whole car

Followed by the windscreen and windows. Thinners stank out the inside of he car so out with the odour eliminator too

Changed the desperate sidelights too. One had gone silver!

And just for shíts and giggles

A day well spent

Nice treehouse :pac:
