Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

I am definitely treating you guys way too good.

Another update…….?

Bolloxx.


Saturday I brought the Canta up to the house, closer to everything.



More vacuum cleaning and hard brush action.



Interior looked like this….

So a bucket of warm water, some dishwashing liquid and a lot of wash, rinse repeat was needed.

This thing is as filthy as you wished your girlfriend would be.

Just really bad.













I think the best part of the job was the fact that it was a decent day outside, dry, warm and no wind.

Good for the morale when working alone.



So here is an example of what you start with and what you end up with…..

Start



Wash, disassemble where possible…..



Clean up all the parts



Reassemble and grin.



Add wax based furniture polish……



And repeat for the whole interior.

Clean glass, repeatedly till you can look inside.

Wait for interior to dry.

Then wipe down all surfaces with polish and grin madly at the transformation.









Seats back in.





Of course the floor carpets look like absolute Sh!t but that is a job for another day.


More in the next report tomorrow ……


Starting to feel this now.


Happy Easter.
