I guess the front carpet is rank and the seats? Oily overalls etc?


Seats are really clean considering, apparently it’s had seat covers on from new, the rubber mat is a bit shitty, been looking at those carpet ones for £35 on eBay, I got my eldest to paint the back in black gloss, seems to have clear the smell, either that or I’m now used to it :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had one of those but it didn’t take long to wear out I have now replaced it with the rubber one keeps the van mat from wear and is easier to clean.

Going off the state of my boots after today’s job I think a rubber mat would be better, are they the same price roughy would you know

Bloody hell Andy you’ve been busy, I didn’t think your side door was that bad, what’s this moondust like for painting? I’ve found some silvers never match up.

Need to order the c-max cruise steering wheel soon.

Silver's a fooker of a colour to match but hard to actually paint without getting stripes and or mottoling in sunlight, just got the paint shops standard moondust as I will be doing full van at some point but at the moment only doing a panel at a time due to work and ended up doing it through the night, match wasn't to bad
The auld girl spluttered a couple of times today so thought I'd change fuel filter and this muck came out of old filter...... and i only use shell or esso fuel wtf will the supermarket fuel be like ImageImage

Aye black and silver are a right twat to paint, looking better now though, the bit above the windscreen will be a pain I bet.

I reckon that sh*t in the fuel filter is down to this bloody b10 diesel stuff as it’s 10% bio, looks like fuel filters will be getting changed more often now, I only use shell if I can.
