Thanks Paul , will enjoy it.
I gave it a polish and a wash which brought it up real nice , but some parts faded back after a few days , so it needs cutting back I'd say . I might take it and get it polished at a detailer.

Climate control has gone to default.
Check to see if you have vacuum to the control unit. |

Ensure that you are pulling a vacuum.

I will probably end up doing a closed door respray in the same colour, Sometime in the future . as you said it just fades again .
Drove it around today and its going good. Just need to replace a broken exhaust mount .

Yeah, that's all I'm doing - the 2k base is good enough for an acrylic cover. Amazing how all the out of sunlight areas are nice bright red

That is because in the visible electromagnetic spectrum red is the first colour to fade.
