Now you just have to keep it that clean

No rubber matting put in place for the steps though ?

Haha! Yeah keeping it that clean is the mission although I'm now a dab hand with my DA polisher which is a godsend, albeit hard work.

I only picked the old girl up today so am in two minds as to whether to put the rubber mats in or use the stainless ones I bought years ago. I was thinking of sealing them up altogether and sealing them with a texture coating then Dynaxing it underneath.

I think there should be a law against having a T3 that shiny, shame on you for showing us all up

Haha!! Cheers Paul. Inside is rotten and full of dust and dirt but has that lovely fresh bodywork/paint smell

Got my son on cleaning duties this weekend.

She’s currently back in for a bit more work on the roof - the seal on the pop top was not correct and way too hard, which had worn away the paint over time.

Primered up ready for paint with a new pop top seal going on - I’m also having an eyebrow spoiler painted up in the same colour:
