@ your room adam ,why you got so many door pannels . or is it just the mess making my eyes go funny, seriously mate ,i hope that you get things sorted out ,and get that engine out as PROMMISED , as you know ,ive just had 5 months of broken prommises .does your head in ,you want to pick some of that stuff up of the floor too mate ,i had stuff mark my dash ,as it was in a pile ,the mark has come out ,but you can easily fook stuff up ,with it piled up on top of each other. plus you might be able to see the floor ,(joke ) looks loke you have got lots of cleaning ,any more advice you need just pm me ,im a self employed valleter ,so i dont mind helping
Jesus!
I thought I had a lot of car around my house
I like the layout of all the new stuff. How much you spent at Ford on it? I reckon I am into about Ł700 on new bits from Ford alone, everything from a Bonnet to a bolt .
What did you spray your cam cover with? I am toying with the idea of buying a metal one then getting it powder coated but I am going WAY over budget on the bodywork and new bufty bits, when I still have an engine to pay for. Spray cans are cheap lol.
Looks good though mate, now I know why you are the Deerhunter
Keep up the good work

(sp)im just doing the car for me ,i get loads of satisfaction , ( all these big words are an effort so early in the day ) from doing my car myself ,and just love working on it ,it took me 3 years to turn a dog into the pic .b4 it was smashed ,so im having a damm good go this time to do lots more ,its not going to be no where like concourse ,but im not into that ,cant be doing with cleaning my tyres with a damm toothbrush lol. every show ,thanks for the comments ,i will post the red cover again in a bit ,them pices looked crap in that light. regards tony . and big up damo .hope every thinhg goes good ,
