hi mate ! put it in hot soapy water in the bath over night , then cleaned and cleaned it !! then used a black T cut on it and polished until me arms hurt !! the T cut is the stuff you get from Halfords etc for the colour of your car ! hope this helps . john

Update

Hell0 again chaps ! thanks for the comments left in each thread . Cars coming on slowly but surely !! ive now decided to reskin the roof and get rid of the webasto ! shame because i bought a brand new one off darran ( escort tech ) but i just think it will look better with a solid black vinyl roof ! all the weldings nearly done just a few bits left then im going to get the engine out and strip the engine bay back to bare metal ! it will be white so when the engines all stripped and re done in black it will look nice . Ive been busy buying parts like Alternator, Starter motor , coil etc ! oh and ive got an original RS manifold for it .

[johnylock]

some more pics

got the rear arch all sorted now ! and put some pictures of the engine bay on before i take the engine out and strip the bay ! you wont recognise it when its done !
