114 - Well, It's Clean But It Doesn't Shine! Not Yet!

Cleaned and polished things go far better from starting conditions but I want to try another polished.

113 - It Has To Be Shiny!

The pics below show the Super Astute's motor plate after a second deep clean. The work isn't finished because I want it to shine!

112 - First Steps

The restoration of my Super Astute is began: the car is fully disassembled and I've separated the broken parts from the few candidates to be used after the cleaning. Many plastic parts are broken due to much tightened screws, not so bad! It allows me to switch it to 3D printed parts that are better and modern engineered. Awaiting for the first spares coming from several countries, I'm also preparing the chassis reinforcing its edges with super glue.

111 - Priority Project For 2015!

The car I've much desidered, found in a local site... number of previous owners: unknown. In poor conditions, I'm angry and worried... it's better to start the hunt for the spares and the upgrades needed to obtain a full jeek's specs version.
