What happens when......

[Craig]

You put a Seat Alhambra up against a family of five plus a golden lab. :thud:

All three kids are younger than 7 and it looks like they had breakfast in the car every morning !! Also they have smudged sun tan cream into the paintwork :argh:

Anyway, it's getting the full works for one of my mates, really wish I had said no ! :lol:

Pics tomorrow, or maybe Monday depending how long it takes !!! ;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

I hope you're charging appropriately.:yes nod:

A.

[Stewart]

Good luck in this weather.

[GCA3N]

dear oh dear look forward to the pics.

[Craig]

Well that's the interior done.... Only took just under 4 hours :thud:

As for charging appropriately Andy, well I was only supposed to be doing the outside, but he came to me the other day and asked for the inside aswell so no real price has been agreed.... He's a mate so he gets a discount anyway ;). Will be under a ton easy :yes nod:

[Craig]

Good luck in this weather.

Got a nice double garage to do it in... Struggled a bit earlier with the 2 hoovers and other bits but that's the inside all hoovered and shampooed :thumbs up: the weather could be better tho :rolleyes: :jetski:

[Stewart]

I rushed the Wax as it was late on and it showed on the HT:blush::blush::blush: got round when I washed it there after with some last touch to take it off.

I'd love to have a garage just to roll the car in and finish if the weather was looking dodgy......I hate cloud watching when polishing, glazeing, waxing...if it starts to rain I've wasted hours.

Took a look at the Lodges on the way back from the HT the road to them is actually rather good from the Commando monument. That’s some curb coming back up the hill to get out:smilewinkgrin:. I take it your lodge is one of the larger ones to the right as you drive down up the hill? Nice view. No one was in so just had a quick look and left.

Hi Stewart,

Yeah as you go down the hill, ours is the second one I'n on the left. The ones at the bottom of the hill are the rentals owned by Lochaber ;)

Yeah the view is one of the best bits :yes nod:

[Stewart]

Sorry just read my post again, that should have been left going down.

[Craig]

Well finished the car this afternoon about 2ish after a total of 8 and half hours of work.... It is quite simply the worst car I have done EVER. :thud: The inside took the longest, but it has been worth it. My mate is really happy with the results, as is his wife, saying that it's now looking better than when they got it...:thumbs up:

Here is some of the equipment required to do the job....

Sheesh you missed a bit... :rolleyes: How could you forget about the clutch and brake pedals after all the rest you did? :p

Well done MrD, give yourself a pat on the back for a great job well done :thumbs up:

(terrible to think people can actually let their vehicles get into that state in the first place!!!):frown:

Good work Craig. I remember doing a mates VW Sharran and it was the first time I'd given another car, apart from my Mini, the works, and I didn't realise how easy the Mini was to do, with the amount of plastic and size, compared to the Sharran where every panel had to be done lol. I can give my Mini the works in about 4 hours, like you, took me about 7.5 hours to do this Sharran...never again!

[ianking]

Much better now, good job.

If you want to do the pedals then dont bother with cotton buds. you need a small scrubbing brush and a good spray of G101. Then just wipe up afterwards.

I use the Autoglym wheel/engine brush or the Megs Slide lock brush on my pedal's as Ian has suggested, comes up a treat!

Yes boss ;)

Kinda lost the will to live by the time I got to the pedals :lol:

Great job Craig, but hate to think what it will be like after a weeks school run and two trips to the beach with the dog........:thud:
