Alls well here

That sounds like a good plan with the adjustable lower arms

Definitely a ‘wheels stationary’ job – the angle grinder does all the necessary rotating. You can even use a finer red polishing compound for a super-fine finish should you want it.

Maybe I’ll post a quick ‘how to’ guide with photos.

PS It’s ‘Pete’ now actually - Steve sold me the car about a year ago... Last I heard he was messing smoking around in something old and Italian, poor fellow!!

Wheels are looking nice as. Along with the rest of the car of course!

I'd be interested in seeing a little how to on what you did with them. Even though it does seem pretty straightforward

My humblest apology with the 'slip of name' Pete but either way what an awesome job on those wheels mate.
As others have said a bit more info on the cleaning & polishing would be good in pics ...

What's happening with this car now? I spotted it a long time ago in Worcester and it was the first one i'd seen in the flesh!

Hi, sorry I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but I still have the car and have been working on it behind the scenes. Latest tasks completed have been:

- Australian / New Zealand spec 'aero' mirrors have sourced, sprayed, colour sanded and fitted. They look great, but are rubbish for seeing anything out of!

- I've gone "full chav" and fitted an amp and some subwoofers: Initially this was a Mac Audio Pulsar 1XL amp running 2 x 12 inch Phase Linear subs, but the box was so big I lost my rear seats, so the latest install is a single 12 inch sub, a 6 farad power cap, the Pulsar 1XL amp, plus a Pulsar 4XL amp driving the mids and tweets. Next step for this is an uprated alternator!


I'll try and post up some pics when I get time, but the car is getting driven, loved... and not let out in wet weather!!

PS Does anyone know why I can't see the buy and sell section any more? Is it because I'm not active enough on the board? I've got a few spares I was going to offer up for sale.

sorry bud, we had a few problems a while back and ended up changing members access to certain areas to being based on post count plus a few other things...... seems you got overlooked in the changeover.... all done now

I was wondering only last week what had happened to Rexanne.... glad to see it's still rotanging... there's a lot of affection for that car on here

Ah, ah see - thanks Ian.

I'll do a proper update at some point to keep Rexanne's fans happy!

In the meantime I'll keep on with a few other jobs, as there's always something to do!!

Is anyone still in touch with Steve-A?

I still catch up with him every so often. Good to hear the old girl is still on the road.
