All,

Well it was no good - the state of the lug nut holes and wheels got the better of me and the level of corrosion i knew would just spread unless sorted.

So i had some Volvo Silver from the XC70 left over and elected to do a quick refurb of the wheels, will do a better job in the summer, also got the winter boots on Pirelli Sotto Scorpians all round should see me through the white stuff ( if we get any)

Anyway also gave the lug nuts a quick spray whilst they were off too and some new centre caps as the others were fubar.

Blew in and blended quite well all things considered, etch primer, quick blast with primer, silver and clear coat - Im happy. (although my mate was wondering how long it would take before he could flush the pheasants out in the fields )

Also sorted the plastic air vent grilles on the bonnet, they were really grey, treated with stuff i used on the XC70 - it really works and holds recovers the solid black look and maintains it for a good 12 months without retreating. I use carpro dlux - works well and would recommend just use sparingly results are great.

anyway - more progress again we are getting there...

Pics as always :-
