What did you do to your x40 today???

[gazzi123]

Thankyou

I've recently bought it and it was a state, dog hairs, old sticky sweets , stunk , all trim faded to almost white, etc etc.

I've spent around 30+hrs in labour on it ATM to get it to this standard - it's my run around but I want to make it a mint example , so got along way to go yet ....need to also sort out slight leak in spare wheel well, don't have a clue where it's coming from - got leather interior to put in it next week aswell as put the arcadias on and Eibach springs , want to get a smart looking exhaust (nothing drastic , the jetex looks spot on)

So yea. Fun and games , but it'll be worth it in the end

Thankyou for your compliments and hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of me on here (don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing) as I've gone from a Japanese fanatic to a volvo addict

Once again thanks

Paint looks great, Gazzi.

It was raining quite a bit in Montrose today, so I didn't even get to wash mine this weekend.

Cheers bud

Yea lukily yesterday was dry, so the cquartz paint serum had time to cure lol.

The paint was really really bad, took me with a rotary using harsh wool pad with scholl s17 , then down to medium foam pad using scholl s20 and then onto soft polishing pad using s40 - got there in the end , it's ruffly 90% corrected which is good enough for me.

Today pulled out all rear of interior so I can pick up/install my leather interior next week (so the cloth interior needs a home if anyone wants it) and found a damn leak getting in somewhere as had a puddle in my spare wheel well

Cheers bud - hope this weather turns around a bit
