Steering wheel trim had a few scratches and scuffs on it so took it off and repainted it today. The scratches were so small they were nearly invisible but they were driving me mad, serious new car OCD kicking in.
Few coats of silver, few more of lacquer and back on the wheel this evening.
After the first 2 coats
After first coat of lacquer
Finished product
Back on the wheel

Well I am absolutely knackered. I spent the whole day today washing, detaring, claying, polishing and sealing my dads Porsche 928. It would have been a lot less work if he was into detailing but he only ever washes it...
Anyway, here it is when I started
The beading left a lot to be desired :pac:
I did the wash, detar and clay and then pulled it into the garage and started the polishing
Before
After
The after is taken at a different angle but considering it was done by hand I think it looks well
I didn't pull it back out for after photos and I still have to do the wheels and interior. The plan is to get it looking well and sell it on to get a new toy
. So if anyone is interested in buying....:pac::p 0 -

Busy evening was busy
Want the definition of a sticky clutch?
The eagle eyed might cop how new this clutch is....
Struts, rack disconnected. Almost ready to drop the frame
Then light beat me!
Shimming finished, all assembled and placed on the block 22 bolts!!!
You know it's a serious piece of kit when it slices your finger on the edge :eek:
And cleaned up some more EGRs
Enjoying some well earned Jager 0 -

A wheely generic update..... Sorry
Crappy tyres and scruffy wheels.... Driving me mad!
To get the jack to fit....
Mystery jizm
All I can say is..... Wow
Moving to the Kormoran on the right... The only way to change and balance tyres here for now is the pikey way :pac:
Avec la....
Halfway sanded
Sprayed in some Peugeot colourless silver!
Somewhat newish tyre fitted and pikey balanced
A sort of before and after...
Fitted and tyre shine applied
Tail pipe looks much better since it sobered up!
So that's 2 much better tyres on somewhat fresh looking rims. Balance worked a treat. Just need to pikey track it and wahey! 0 -

Well to follow up on the 928 post from Saturday here is the finished article. Have to say I'm pleased with how it came out.
Get some reflection going on:P Something I miss out on with my white car.
And of course the beading :cool:

Not much, but I stripped out the worst wiring of a bluetooth set ive seen from my girlfriends mini (it was cutting in and out to her radio, and she was never gonna use it). Whoever installed it originally didnt use a splitter to wire it up, they just chopped up wires and twisted them together.
Im gonna use the microphone and display to complete my Parrot BT set (whoever owned my car before me cut the mic and display wires). Did the microphone this evening so I just need to either find a home for the display, or bury it somewhere and keep the dash clean.
Prepped the belt line plastics of the car for wrapping. Hoping for a delivery tomorrow. Chickened out of taking off the instrument cluster surround. A bit of googling just said to grow a pair and pull it off.

Took the dash out of my E36, almost have the black interior swapped in now - a very straightforward job to be honest. What won't be straightforward is sorting out the wiring mess I left in place from the 6 button OBC and heated seats install
Have the 18 button OBC ready to go in, as well as check control - will be taking my time with it, theres a significant amount of wiring to be done.
