I know a chap who might be able to sort you out with a purple knob.

That paint looks very nicely done.

Made a long list of stuff to do/find/fix/replace today....

• Rear to boot liner
• Strip out interior and clean it all as it's pure filth
• Replace blown bulbs
• Cracked filler on boot needs redoing
• Scratches down the side of the car
• Severely rusted front slam panel
• Sort out the headlights (naff bolts)
• Get a coilover tool
• Wheels still need to be done and need to get the correct studs/nuts for em
• New wings need painting
• Outside needs a decent wash
• Timing chain needs looking at
• Leak from gear selector area?
• Service

And that's not even half of it!

Every car requires work... this is actually rather small in comparison to the Super S, just got to wait till payday then some things will actually start happening! :laugh:

 

[Shaun]

Cleaned the Darn thing over the weekend... Mind you i didn't use any water which is kind of bad but hey... the paint is knackered anyhow!

As you may notice ALL the stickers are gone....
and i removed the bottom center console to reveal some historic monuments:

90p per litre back in 2006

An Original Letter for the first owner after 6 months ownership back in 1996!!

 

[Shaun]

Well make yours look like the s12 at the top then!

 

[markbognor]

What the s12 at the top? (I presume you mean that because its the only thing on there that looks anything like an '86 - that isn't already an '86)

 

[gtsnissanb]

[markbognor]

No Not yet shaun sorry, another big #######ing at work made my head spin for a few weeks, then ofsted last week. It's sitting on my desk to make though and you will get it sun (Y) PM me some more details about what you mentioned before and I'll see what I can do.

 

[Shaun]

Gave the car a little Polish today:
Before:

Applying Compound:

Add a little water and rub it in very well:

Clean it all off:

Afterwards Start T-cut:

Allow to dry and polish it off (half way)

All Buffed up! (by hand mind)

Reflection Win!

Yay!

Inside at the moment (needs some love)

 

[Shaun]

Also rubbing compounded the glass headlights and driving lights as it works wonders! t-cutted all the windows...

 

[martinb]

Looking good mate!! What you putting on after the t cut? Meguairs polish and carnuba wax is the best

 

[Shaun]

Yeah i used Meguairs spray wax. comes up really well but oversprays everywhere so you have to keep going back after every panel! the boot needs some serious tlc as the paint looks completely odd lol

 

[Daniel]

Mmm, shiny shiny :grinning: (Y)

 

[r-reg-sr]

[Shaun]

You don't need a kit mate... Just a microfibre cloth or something similiar and some t-cut... any colour will do.
apply t-cut.
let it dry.
buff it off.
good for people like myself with no rear wiper when it rains too!

 

[r-reg-sr]

i do need a kit , for these stone chips in front glass and scratches
but yeh good tip mate

[Daniel]

Ahh, I was getting all excited then when I saw an update from you . Hope there'll be a big update soon :grinning:

 

[Shaun]

Me too! lol

 

[Daniel]

What alloys are you putting on her?

 

[Shaun]

Nothing Major,
Just letting you guys know the car is still alive and well lol
want to sort out a few things over the next week or two and see what happens.

 

[Shaun]

Painted the slots today:

Also painted my 3rd brake light black but got no piccys as it's not really anything of interest...

Don't really know what to do with the slots really, I kind of like them completely black but i think they deserve at least the lip polished...
We shall see.

 

[Daniel]

I really like these alloys mate, they look sweet. Would definitely get a set if I was keeping my K11. Can't wait to see them fitted (Y) :grinning:

 

[Shaun]

Right... After much deliberation and asking absolutely everyone... i am keeping them matt black. for now at least can always change my mind in the future.
Took some better pictures with an actual camera instead of this cruddy phone.

And a rough idea of what's to come...

 

[r-reg-sr]

:grinning:
