get it back to spec

on the above photo you can see i have a lot of orange peel .but even after 2  coats of clear the flake at points is still above the clear. as i have done the car so many times now, i know that once i start to build up the clear, i will be all right to flat it down to get rid of the peel

did an 800 first cut on the light covers as its been 2 weeks for these, even with an 800 cut they look good in sun light

I'm impressed with your dedication. I think I would have given up after 20 minutes !

bar coat /primer on bonnet done

2 days of grit work looking good , lots of rain, so have to wash the car down after each rain shower, ( on the coast so get a lot of sand in the rain) had a break from the car and found out there are another 3 e31 on the island

re-build kit for front 4 pots, one caliper would not move with 115 psi on it all others free . had to use nitros at 1200 psi, boy did it make a noise when it did go. the caliper was blocked with wood so that it could only move 1/ 8 inch, then 115 psi was enough to blow it out. new seals and dust boots for both front calipers ,less than £30 with next day post well worth it. by the time i have re-built the brakes will be time to polish the car

need to replace brake lines under the car, has anyone done this with the diy kits you can get of e-bay. or does anyone know were i can get the lines in the uk.

thought would not have time for the work still to be done, with all the house move stuff to do. as its got no mot--- cut losses and scrap the motor--- did some searches to see how much its worth as scrap-----£150   as long as its all there no crash damage, and runs .do these places think i came up the thames on a push bike. so will take off all lights, trim,front and back plastic bits,s/s pipes,wheels as all theses bits will fit a lhd motor. can see why they are called shark spares
