Thumbs up

A very nice looking 240 you've got there Stiggy! Especially with the Torsy alloys, I've not seen a saloon sporting them before, they really suit it!

Looks great and I agree the Torslanda alloys really suit the saloon.

Hi,

A bit more polishing and you'll be starting to wear the lacquer off...

Nice and clean example...
Look after her...

Car looks great with the cross spoke alloys and set it off so well. Car looks exceptionally clean and tidy. You should be very pleased with it.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Thanks Ian it does now look a lot cleaner than it was , and boy do I feel it after all that work LOL .

Its well worth it though , as its come up just right . Next job will be engine room and all door shuts / hinges etc......

I may take the wiper arms off and give them a fresh coat of satin black , undecided yet it depends what they will come up like with a bit of elbow grease .
