Day 1

Today I started to do some work on the Midas before it goes to the garage at the end of the week.

First job was to remove the towing stickers which came off without issue just leaving a little sticky residue behind. Some alcohol removed the residue. Then it was onto the number stickers. In case the paint had faded beneath the sticker I decided to remove the one from the boot lid first, reasoning that I will have to have this resprayed when I fill the holes after removing the spoiler. The sticker peeled off easily but did leave residue so it was out with the alcohol again. The same with the number stickers on the doors and the bonnet, all needed some alcohol to remove the sticky residue. I then cleaned the remainder of the residue off  with some T-Cut and then gave it a quick wax in those areas, the whole car will get a wash and wax once the work is finished.

I removed the rear spoiler and have temporarily put some black bolts in the holes. I will get some rubber grommets for now and over the winter will get them properly filled and the whole boot lid painted.

I gave the inside a quick vacuum clean and stuck some loose carpet down in the boot.
