Matt thanks I think I replied on youtube, takes half the night writing to everyone but I enjoy thanking the viewers. its your valuable time your taking to watch my film so I appreciate it. its good to record the Cortina progress an let people learn. some are too proud to ask for advice so they watch the films and keep it quiet LOL! !!!:shocking: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk3 dave 9 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Probably a bit late for a top tip, but with that instrument binnacle for stripping the paint and chrome off you can soak it in brake fluid (dot 4) over night, the paint/chrome/glue will come off with a brush and stubborn bits with fine wire wool or scotchbrite. Maybe repeat a couple of times. Surprisingly effective and doesn't affect the plastic. Did this to a mk1 escort binnacle and it worked perfectly although it can be messy! Good luck with the resto!

That's a good tip about the brake fluid. Personally I've used oven cleaner with good results but will try brake fluid next time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
