LittleRedSpirit Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 If I ever see someone driving a chrome finished car, of any kind, I will personally kick them square in the testicles/ovaries. Youve got some high profile people to ruckshambo. Quote

Nathan92 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Posted August 16, 2012 been lazy with updates on here. Anyway I gave her 1 coat of paint and have cut it bak (wet/dry) ready for another. Also painted mirrors metalic purple. though they look more pink. possibly because it was cold when I painted them so ill give them another coat dureing the day. Quote
Willis Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 God I would rep an Escort. All day, everyday. Quote
Nathan92 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Posted August 16, 2012 aha. yeah ive had it for ages and still no rego.. all i need to do is finish painting bonnet then suss out why reverse lights arnt working and then it will pass. I can never get motivation to work on it though Quote
Nathan92 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Posted August 19, 2012 So had a busy weekend. got first coat of paint on, then wet/dry, then second coat. then wet n dry with p2000, then cut then polish. Came out ok, there is still a couple dents and stuff here and there but I'm not exactly trying to build a showcar, I'm happy with the result. I put new rubber seals alround when putting stuff back, also did surge tank setup in boot, and now it doesnt surge :). Currently put my old tailights back in as my new ones havnt arived yet. Only thing I'm going to change about the paint at the moment is the mirrors and vents as they are not the colour I expected and look out of place, so will be doing these matte back. The colour of the car between me and a few mates is best descibed as the colour on the cadbury dairymilk packets. Also cleaned up the interior and put beam seat covers and mats in. pics: Quote
