Fit my new front and rear whiteline Swaybars. Sadly the rear bar was wrong and getting it swap as it was a evo 10 swaybar. Front made such a bit difference that cant wait to get the rear on this weekend.

.

Spent the best part of seven hours cleaning Myra; washed the outside, washed the engine bay, washed the wheel arches, chamoised dry with Eagle Wax As U Dry and then applied Meguires Gold Class Wax on the roof, bonnet & boot.

Armor-Alled the interior, went over the leather with Armor-All leather wipes, vacuumed the interior and the boot.

Had a cheese & onion roll for lunch. :-D

Then fitted my home-made boot-liner, refitted the Ralliart floor mats (after vacuuming and washing them previously!), put the cheap mats I got over the Ralliart ones to keep them clean, fitted the new dashmat, fitted the Lancer neoprene front seat covers, then cleaned the interior glass (badly as usual).

Had a quick go over the bigger scrapes on the mags with a light cover of body filler and sanded that back, ready for painting tomorrow...

Back upstairs for a quick slash and a Pepsi, then down to fit my last remaining 'Spirit' sticker in the usual spot and put an AK sticker on the rear drivers side quarter window.

Then spent a fair amount of time just walking around looking at her...

Must be love... :-)

Fixed the worst of my (inherited) gutter rash, covered up some scrapes under the front bumper and installed the iPod lead to my MMCS...

I pulled my plates off today! for the first time since the beginning of the year when I got my pink plate protectors... :L Needless to say behind the plates was incredibly dirty

But! I hand washed her for the first time in a while! :3 Also noticed alot of chip marks on the front bumper :L and a few new marks on the rear that I hadn't noticed until now, but.... It's kinda got me thinking of an after market bumper

with my number plate being moved to the side :3

Not going to lie, She looks better without plates

Weather was finally decent enough to fit my redline tuning hood lift kit, pretty happy with the result, however the habit to attach and detach the bonnet support stand is still there. Btw does anyone know the best way to remove that support stand.

you twist it and then it slides out I believe. It's not hooked in or anything there is just a bend when it sits in the hole, if that makes sense.

Or just leave it there for when the gas struts finally give up... :-)

Currently sitting in the service department drinking bad coffee watching the Today Show while some old people whinge about having to wait all of five minutes while their cars were booked in...

The boot has struts too, which now would be older than the new ones I installed. Now it's installed if I had an issue I would source a replacement from repco or somewhere. I just wanted to clean up the bay and remove the old worn looking stand.
We don't need to know about Steve's loose bits Martin, that would be bad while I'm having my breakfast lol
