Hi guys, havent really posted anything on here for a bit - not due to a lack of cars but because we've not really had anything worth posting 
This one was worth it though, a 1987 3.2 Carerra. I love these 911's - My dads first 911 was this style and it was the car i came home from the hospital in on the day i was born
This one had seen better days though, the owner is a customer of ours and Races a 997 GT3 RS Cup Car and had initially bought it for his son to race in the Classics but decided that it was probably too good a car to strip and more than likely wreck, so instead he had me tidy it up a bit. I was quite excited about doing this car as i'd wanted to do it for ages since the first time i saw it sitting in the shed
As you can see it had sat for a good while (road tax ran out 5 years ago!):
The interior & especially the leather was pretty grubby to say the least aswell, with spots of mould appearing in places:
I usually like to wash and dry the car before anything else but the battery was as flat as a pancake and the owner wasnt around when i arrived to help me push the car outside, so i decided to tackle the interior first as i knew it would take a good few hours anyways.
Firstly i dusted out all the vents and scraped out all the crap from between the plastics etc with a triple duty detailing brush. I then thoroughly hoovered the interior and shampoo'd the carpets and matts before cleaning the door shuts etc with an all in one product
I then set about cleaning the leather as it was prety grubby. Using a mild solution of APC (10:1) and a soft nail brush i gently worked the brush in a circular motion and then wiped dry with an old MF cloth.
This isnt the worst bit but it gives you an idea of before and after:
