    I used a scraper from bunnings, the type with the stanley blade in them. i then finished up with grease
    and wax remover to get rid of the sticky film. Be very carefull of the rear demister wires with the blade.

    Warm water with morning fresh in and steel wool but the finer the better, thats how the pros do it unless you have a steam mop!

    Well things have now stopped while I concentrate on things that have been neglected over the last 9 months. Today I placed the Mod plate(sticker) on and that will do for a while.

    Tip to Albury on the weekend, did not miss a beat. Plenty of torque even being strangled with 2" tailpipe and limited to 4psi boost. Averaged around 14.5l/100k's
    When its run in and I get some time it will get the boost controller hooked up, the intercooler water plumbed in and a dual 2 1/4" cat back system.

    Could not be happier with the outcome of this project. The main objective was a tow vehicle. The result is more than I had hoped for. Towed the 18' tandem van up to Sydney and once underway only need 4th and 5th all the way and then only because "do not tow in 5th" was on my mind although it did slip my mind once or twice. Returned an average of 21.1l/100 sitting on 100kph all the way.
