Welcome to the family!
Got the pearly red GLT saloon this morning, gave it a wash and got all the mud out from under the arches, you could eat your dinner from under there now, though I did wash out a fair bit of muck
Here she is with the Black GLT hatch
What needs doing to make it right - mainly a good polish as it heading on the road marked 'oxidised pink' on some panels - does anyone have a product they'd recommend for this? The odd stone chip wants touching in here and there, and there looks to be some rust forming on the rear valnce, so I'll remove the bumper and have it repainted before it developes into rot. There's an annoying bit on the roof where the paint has come off through bird shit (same thing happened on my Metro, and I removed it the day it happened - have these birds developed a taste for mexican food?) and the dent in the drivers wing needs to be brought out somehow, but with a little bit of tlc it should make a good show car
Even the heated seats work! (more than can be said for my other 5)
I'm well happy with it for £400 but I reckon I've got it just in time - another year or two of everyday use, no polish and being left outside would have made it a lot less attractive a proposition
A Nice Pair
