Well my day started at 10am. I needed to start the prep on the Leggie to get her ready for *hopefully* people coming to look at her. :end:

Hears how she greeted me.

First of was a pre-soak with Fairy liquid solution (normally i wouldnt do this but i didnt mind about any of the protection being taken off as she was getting a full polish).

I then did front bumper and passenger side.

Then it was 5:30 pm :(. I still have rear bumper and the roof to finish off before sealing the paint then waxing it.

Thats without Wheels, Engine bay then interior.......

Once shes clean then I'll start putting her back to standard for the sale :)

Brcause if I dont sell it then it will be of the road for 6 mnths over the winter as i have a cheap 1.3 golf to get to work and back. Plan is to buy another VR at a later point.

Money is also an isuue :end:

It is a shame but tbh i've pretty much done as much as I wanted to do to her.

Someone will get a bargain anyway :).
