Regretted my decision to tell the mechanic to do whatever it took to get it fixed..

But on the plus side..

Rebushed front end,

strut top mount,

strut top bearings

front and rear pads rotors,

brake flush

coolant flush

new water pump

new thermostat

new 'plastic sh*t inside front left wheel arch'

and probably a few miscellaneous things on the list too like:

indicator fluid

reversing lubricant

number plate polish

Has it made it better though?

I got mine looked at by Ford for the gearbox issue, which should be getting fixed under warranty. Also went to Malaga suspension to find out what my new knocking noise from the back passenger corner of the car when taking off and breaking was after the drive day...turns out my control blade bush is shagged...rad.

Started with the Mothers kit with the sanding disc and buffing attachment.

I did find some 800 & 1200 grit Wet&Dry from Bunnings handing.

Also went to Paint Place and pick up more Wet&Dry pads with Velcro backing.

They're 6" but just cut the disc out of them to fit.

I think I'll get a far bit of use out of the sanding disc and polishing pad.

Spot on for restoring black plastics between doors.

Pitting at start.

I do need to get inside to clean inside.

Any tips on baking them?

A heat gun won't cut it?

Nobody has successfully separated an fg light, apparently the glue is diff to b series and is a bitch. Seen some attempts at cutting them open which looks pretty chit

Have a chat to AFF member jimt3te50. He recently did this with his FG lights and reckons he's figured it out. This post in particular in his GT thread http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpost.php?p=5239249&postcount=439
