Much sad. Removal of PPF starting soon so I can get a quote to have the car polished, re PPFed and coated accurately. In spring it will need an alignment and tuning, and probably new tires halfway through 2019.

No updates on the Corvette however I did go full ‘Murica and upgrade my daily driver. I’ve always wanted a diesel truck for...truck stuff and I’d like to travel to auto x and track events further away eventually so I found a LBZ Duramax for a reasonable price. Truck was service pretty religiously at Strathmore GM and seems to have an extensive service history. Mechanicals seem great, body is mostly very nice as well.

Actually the seller had it parked there, the Mazda behind is my company car I was hooking up to it after picking it up.

I think my massive weight and tire contact advantage might work to my advantage lol.

Also my tire compound may have an advantage for the C5.

Started the dreaded job of removing the PPF today. First time touching the car since November 28th. In two hours I got the headlights, mirrors and roof done. My method of madness is to boil water in the kettle, pour it into a pot and put a microfibre in it, then drape it on the 3M for approximately 15 seconds before pulling the 3M off at a roughly 45 degree angle. The amount of glue left over is not as bad as I expected but it’s not completely clean.

All that’s left is the entire hood, entire front fenders, entire rear quarters, side skirts and front bumper

She’s nice and shiny under there and didn’t have any feelings even close to removing paint so that’s a huge plus. Unsure if I’m going to go quite as extreme on reapplying PPF.

In other news I sold my old clutch and flywheel for $150 to someone building a LS Genesis Coupe so that recoups a bit of money on the build.

Your paint condition is MUCH better than mine.

Removal of PPF round two. Three hours in and I’m about 2/3 done. Dropping car off tomorrow for detailing and reapplication of PPF most likely.

Car is dropped off for PPF replacement and side window tint. Not going to have the whole rear quarters done this time just partial but otherwise the same. I’m a little bit disappointed that my dads M240i on winters is almost as quick in a straight line until I hit fourth, hopefully tuning will fix that.

Ever heard of female condoms? This may be for lining the entire inside of his... you know... I'll see myself out.

Dropped $1900 to have the PPF glue removed, three stage polish, new PPF, ceramic coating and side window tint. Car should be ready later this week then it’s off for an alignment and fresh oil later this month.
