A sunny day today .....

..... so only one thing for it, a good clean post the Lakes and Dales Run

Having just checked my insurance policy on mileage, I've runnout of miles 'till December so that's it for a few weeks. On the upside, more time for cleaning and jobs

You sure have good shine on Bella mate. Looks a treat.

Don’t mind if I’m lazy and hijack your thread with my BMW wash pics

Loving the orange lenses - works well with the black paint and 78’s.
Kind of retro - USA look.

Yeah, I'll never go clear lense as the orange/black contrast looks great, in my view.

Nice to see another ‘OG’ 2.8 getting some love.
We both had them a long time, mine’s going on 12yrs now.

How many has it miles has it clocked now?

I like the clear lenses with your silver 18 inch wheels as that have a more modern look.
Give you something to do for the summer switchover - wheels, headlights, inside indicators and taillights

that said it’s probably quicker doing all that on these cars than changing a bulb on modern car!

The MV3s will be on over Christmas as they have winter tyres on and it gives me an opportunity to clean my 17s properly. Seat bushes need doing and some more seat dye as the bolsters need a touch up, carpet deep clean whilst the seats are out. I've got a new second hand drivers side panel that needs putting on the a deep clean and machine polish of the paint. I'll probably check the insides of the outer sills and the scuttle to. I'll stick her up on the ramp and clean the underneath, touch up any rust spots and give it a good coating of ACF-50 whilst I'm there. Happy days indeed

Bella looking beautiful Andy. Thought you had more on the clock, I'm over 120k now. I've got a squeaky rear end and the car is just as bad, so it looks like the bushes will need replacing before next year.
