Today I drove the Cup up to Alfie’s. She’s booked in for tomorrow but we discussed options for the paintwork a bit and agreed that the engine rev problem is indeed the MAF sensor so he has ordered one in for the morning. We will decide about the suspension and anything else after she’s been up on the ramps.
Alfie surprised me by producing a full set of unused Goodyear Eagle F1s at the correct size 225/45R17 with the now no longer produced original tread pattern. I am going to need at least one so we may be doing a deal.
I then did a bit of a turn round the local recommended body shops. Got a ridiculous quote from one place who said that they could really only offer a full re-spray at an extortionate price. I guess they didn’t want the work. Best quote so far is from a local guy recommended by Alfie but it is still a little bit over what I had in mind.
This evening I continued to do some work on the “good” bodywork paint with a layer of SRP followed by some AquaWax. Putting the SRP on has told me the car is going to need claying but i shall leave it until the respray is about to be done. I also polished the glasswork with AG Glass Polish.
Tomorrow when she’s back from Alfie’s I shall attack the interior. Have discovered the interior light doesn’t work – probably a fuse but it can wait until the weekend.
