Odds and Ends Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 One of my Lotus customers just picked up a Caterham 7. I'm guessing the previous owner wasn't aware that you could polish the bare metal. Pretty sure this thing is gonna hurt your eyes after I get done with it....... Here are a couple of before shots: mc2hill, Texas Moe, zapdon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds and Ends Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Because of time constraints, (the car was going to a local Lotus Club event tomorrow), I wasn't able to get pics outside in the sun, but here are some "after" photos. There were many stains and light oxidation on the bare aluminum and plenty of swirls on the painted parts. The owner was very happy even though I couldn't dedicate more time to it. He will bring it back over the winter months to remove wheels, disassemble things and give it a proper cleaning! I was kinda surprised that the painted parts were single stage! The headers and exhaust heat shield cleaned up very nice.... The engine cover came out very nice. Here is the rear in progress, prior to Metal #1 And the result..... And one final parting shot: Sac, mc2hill and LFairbanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
