    Hey, it’s fantastic to see and hear your enthusiasm for the 3 door again, I have got two project cars on the go at the moment, but I’m ashamed to admit that the one that I have owned since 2006 and I have spent more blood sweat and lots of tears for it is my Nova Sport which is an Irmscher UK special Edition that was limited to only 500 sports being built in 1985; there is not that many left these days (approximately 30-35) but I have not given it any attention since 2019 and it’s still on axle stands as I had to replace the drive shaft oil seal about a week before attending the VBOA rally that July but it wasn’t too be and I have spent more time in and on my Astra VXR Nurburgring as it’s been my daily driver, But You Adam have given me the wake up call to get back to the nova again and doing the small or relatively quick jobs on it is the best way to get back into it again, thank you mate, take care fella 👍

    For effective cleaning, try using an ultrasonic cleaner. They're really good at removing old muck but be careful because they're also good at removing paint if your not careful. Best additive to mix in the water i've found is lemon juice-what you put on your pancakes.

    A good way to remove the old sticky tape residue and it will also melt the foam and make the glue so soft that you can just use a microfibre cloth with more Liquid Lighter Fluid on it and reduces the chances of damaging the paint work under it, I have been using “Swan” or “clipper” Zippo lighter fluid for years now to get the foam and glue off car bits and it’s also good at removing oil or grease from the interior fabric without damaging the material or foam under the fabric especially on the Older Recaro Seats that it’s impossible to find a replacement one or the material to get it re- trimmed again, it’s also a lot cheaper than panel wipe and it’s will also do a better job as well, but it’s always worth a try and have a can of it in the toolbox for any emergency’s 👍

    lol, great intro. I don't think I'm gender fluid but I did accidently pee on my mate once when I was drunk. He didn't wake up like and all the next day at work he thought he'd peed himself. I bought my xr2 back in 1994 for 800 quid and sold it 2 years later, just under 60,000 miles, for 850 quid. I've forgot loads of stuff from back then and I'm hoping that I forget that at some point, I don't want to say what I saw an identical one to mine going for last year. Anyway onwards and upwards eh love your channel Adam your cars are awesome dude.
