Alright!
I'm Ste, I live in Leyland and i drive an escort gti.
Been lurking about the site for quite a while now, but never really got around to introducing myself or posting.
Got to say some of the motors on here are amazing; the time, money and skill that goes into them is almost beyond belief and has really inspired me to sort mine out a bit lol.
Which brings me onto a slight problem i'm having. Trying to sort out a couple of scrapes etc. I've prepped them and they're all primed but i can't get the paint now to spray them up![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
Been to halfrauds who flatly refused to help unless i knew the paint code which i don't.
If anyone knows where it might be on the VIN it'd be a great help. It's Auralis Blue if that's any help.
CheeRS in advance![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Edited to add a pic of the car

Welcome to the site ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
If they dont stock your colour in halfords their always banging on about how they can make ANY colour you like, but i suppose they need the code to work with, hence why they didnt do it.
You'll find it, not like its a very old car

Thanks everyone! yeah i'm finding out quite quickly this place is a bit barmy. Still seems much more fun than a lot of other forums, at least there's a bit of banter here.
rs 1072 thought it was flint grey best colour for a saff imho

Last winter finally did the arches in with all the salt on the road i think.
Got a bit of rust bubbling up now in both arches. Someone kindly smashed into the side of my car the other week while i was parked up at work anyway so getting the rust cut out and new plates welded in when it goes into the body shop.

c.h.r.i.s. - i ain't been up there recently because i seem to be working all the time, next time i take a spin out that way i'll keep an eye out for ya. I'm sure the guy i bought it off lived in Hindley, or if not it was definetely around that way.
As per the wheels, i don't know what they can't find any manufacturer markings anywhere, they were on the car when i got it. Was looking for some RS7 softlines but they appear to be like hen's fooking teeth![tiff](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/punchballs.gif)
Oh and Kosman, yeah moonstone's alright and all lol

Cheers Jimbo, i've just had a quick read of your resto thread and all i can say is wow!
I can barely believe that the car on the first page is the same one as the one on the last.
Big props to you on a total transformation. You've made me want to own a 1.4 escort![smiley_abuv.gif](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smiley_abuv.gif)
Has the previous owner seen it since all the work you've done?
