Default Newbie from Scotland! (with pics of car)

Hey folks!

After owning mr2's for the last few years i decided i needed more room so i got myself an 03 plate 1.6 zetec focus

She's a tidy motor but was absolutly MINGING when i got her! Seriously she was disgusting inside and smelled like someone had shit in it (NO JOKE!!!) there was chocolate, chewing gum, stains and all sorts! And the lad before me worked in a sawmill so there was sawdust EVERYWHERE!!! She hadn't been cleaned in months and was really in a bad way! She was missing a wing mirror also and looked really bad lol.

Here she is after 2 days hard graft with A LOT of autoglym products (dad in law sells them ) need to polish her asap but have had enough for today!

on the plus side we did find £10.49 in change throughout the car!!!

anyway all thoughts welcome! I'm not keen on the 18" alloys although they are brandnew so i'm gonna sell them on i think and i'm gonna see if anyone wants to trade the rear lights for some std ones!

Mike
