While I wait for the nasty salt and mud to disappear from our roads, the GT3 is in the workshop getting some TLC and attention. She had not had a proper going over since the summer road trip .
Last time I cleaned the underside, I used a clear coating to cover everything, however, it has turned an unsightly yellowy milky colour, so I have decided to remove it, using my trusty soda blaster and this time, just use lots of Boeshield T9 and WD40 on all the Ali, which will be rinsed off and re applied regularly.
She has come up pretty well, however, I feel I am in for some painting costs as the cills are completely peppered by grit from the wheels and my front bumper is now pretty chipped after the iberia track day sortie......
I am also going to get the coolant hoses welded and all replaced along with the water pump in the next few months, up at Fearnsport I think......
As that's an engine out job, I will also get them to completely clean and polish the parts of the engine I can't reach from underneath as well as all the underside areas, hidden by the engine......
Oil and filter change next job.....
