Right got the brakes done today


Also changed the wing mirror...
Got the old one off and was greeted with this...




No where near as bad as my Pug mind
Give ti a clean up and rubbed it all down with some heavy cutting compound...

Rubbed the rust back to bare metal...

Put some primer on the bare metal...

And then I painted it.
Now I was told by some knowlageable guy on Passion Ford that because the wing mirror I had was a pattern part the backing from the standard mirror wouldn't fit and I would need to modify the mirror or the car considrably to get it to fit in the first place.
So I painted up a new one...

And low and behold it's exactly the same as the standard one!
Now the one I apinted up was a pretty good colour match, but I decided to polish up the standard one and use that one again as it was perfect...

Oooo look it fits

Oh and it bolted on no problems either!

Then the car was cleaned and given a coat of an all in one product I aquired while working for a detialing company...

And done


Not a bad days work by all accounts
