Foobys PH2 Diablo GTi6 Project

[Ed Doe]

In the intrest of collecting together all the phase2 bits of information that have fallen from this car...



On a more serious note, looking through the photos at the beginning of this thread (from when someone who knew what they were doing -aka Scott! - actually properly cleaned this car) it's a really mint example mate.

You need to get this sorted out and nice and shinyshiny for summer I'll even help with that

[Niall]

I'd like to point out that when Fooby said Scott cleaned the car.....he spent 6 hours on it!

Crazy man

Errm I've probably spent best part of 4 weekends correcting the shit paint on my car and it's still not finished. Especially seeing as people keep driving Into it!

Fooby, you need to get this working and on the road. Driving the Ibiza must be shite

[darrenjlobb]

Lol video of win, driving a 306 where it belongs, in the shit!

Pft whos that chav revving his ratcanmobile half way through the video?

[Hitchos]

I must admit i was waiting for it to get traction and go flying backwards into the wall behind it lol

Bahaha, your couch Darren! trying to put it through a driving cycle without actually driving it anywhere lol!! (And slightly being a chav...!)

That ibiza isn't actually that bad tbh, but its nothing on the 6 fo sho.


By the by, a small update; Foobs' got day insurance out last weekend and came up to visit; we went for an epic drive down some of the roads my way. Fookin ace it was, the sun was out, it was warm, windows down, lots of bwaaarp, so much win

I wish i could do that with my car. It's not happy at all at the moment
Still, Friday we can commence the rebuild

[4WayDiablo]

trololol


also again for lol's

[Ed Doe]

This car has disappeared off the map recently, along with it's footwear-related accident prone owner also....

About time they both made an appearance! And about time the poor car got a half-decent clean!!

[Scott]

Mentioned this to him earlier! Told him I'll clean it for him if he buys the products. I'll be sending over a list tomorrow

[Niall]

We still need this detailing day before fcs!

[Dum-Dum]

Well to follow phills lead and seen as fooby dosent post his own pics heres a couple of old ones from me.

[Ed Doe]

He needs to bloody learn to clean it properly himself. Everytime his car's been detailed, it's been done by someone else. Half the satisfaction of it is in standing back after 6hours of cleaning/waxing/polishing and just admiring the end-result! aaand then getting it covered in brake dust again

But yeah, I'm up for helping you and Fooby out giving it a good going over before FCS

We still need this detailing day before fcs!

Yes!! We really do need to do this! Just no idea now time-wise when it'll happen! If things go to plan as discussed last night, then we could probably sort something out for the weekend of 9th & 10th, if I'm not called in to work on 9th...

Either that or I'll have to just give it the 2bucket treatment the Friday morning before driving up. If it's sunny It'll get covered in flies anyway, and if its raining it'll get shit-high before I get there, so either way It'll need another going over when I get there! Just hope there is time for a proper detailing session with some wax (ooh-err!) to seal it so It's easier to clean up for the show!

[Niall]

I'm going to be detailing mine on the Saturday at the campsite. Just need to give it a good clean before I drive up.

[Fooby]

I knew i had a project thread in here somewhere...


Well.. stand back, hope your sitting down. I CLEANED MY OWN CAR!!!! hock: :o

and when i say cleaned... i mean 2 bucket method, rinse (your couch ed) then i clayed it and SRP'd it. Much thanks to scott for letting me use your clay buddy

So after being supervised on the above methods and me finishing SRP'ing my car. I was promptly told that unless you wax it after SRP'ing the first hint of rain washes off the SRP... Well we ran out of time that evening and we needed food, so it was left as a morning job... well, it fecking rained didnt it. So i drive to scotts in the morning and SRP my car again.. myself.

It threatened to rain again but we waited a little bit and then i waxed the car. Now, scott really wanted to get started on his car, so he showed me how to wax the car and left me to it... foolish mistake. Pretty much what 5-6 cars worth of wax i used just on my car? Apparently (shock horror) too much power was used and i'd used a feck load of wax all over the car. Shiney shiney, but scott wasnt best pleased. So thanks for putting up with me using all your wax

Either way, sooooooooo shiney, was really nice to get it done myself. I dont think i've done an amazing job as its was mostly my first time, i think moving forward i'll be a little slower and make sure i get every nook and cranny.

Some pics:

[samass]

shiney! shame about the colour tho. should have parked it in a tent after to make sure it didnt get wet...

[Scott]

Not surprised it was heading, the amount of wax on there was enough for my whole street

Dont forget your bumper also got fitted correctly (well, as good as possible given the lack of bolts) instead of being completely bodged on and left rattling around every time the wind blows

[Dum-Dum]

Makes me consider actually washing my own car. Do we still have a hosepipe ban in north west london?

[Matt]

Much broken recently?
