Dum-Dum's Black Rallye

[Dum-Dum]

I've decided that its probably time for me to put up a project thread for my rallye as I've owned it nearly 6 months and most people don't believe that I actually own one.

I bought it off Mitch on the 2nd of April this year for £500 as a bit of investment as they have started going up in value, I saw one advertised at £4k a little while ago, I've always wanted one and black is the rarest colour.

So here she is at the services on the way home at the services. It's got the loudest exhaust going. 2 hours in the car even with ear plugs and my ears were ringing

And here she is at home, she is going to get a bit of a de-chaving and restoring to original with a few tweeks, shes already got a few mods and some of them are coming off like the front tints.

First change was getting a new bonnet as the old one wasn't original and was battered so I picked up this one.

Bonnet off, soon to be shiny engine.

Stuck an ebay decal on the new bonnet after googling many images of rallye bonnet decals to make sure it was the right way up and in the right place.

Gave it a clay, paint renovator, polish and 2 coats of megs ultimate wax and this was the result which I'm very pleased with.

I then washed and waxed the whole car and thats how its sat since mid April.
