Default I think I'm turning into a bufty...
- I just had the car painted and the finish is amazing - the only time I have seen an Escort as clean, it was on axle stands with mirrors underneath . As I drove it home on Sat night (thanks Martin H ), I started thinking that I would not take it out on wet days ever again . How do I fight these tendancies ? Suppose I had better get it on track at Bedford on 19th Feb and get some stone chips on it .

Rich,
No, the front end was stone chipped to buggery and the arches were suffering from bad stone chips and subsequent start of corrosion.



I just wanted all the bits attended to before they could take hold. Lucky for me Martin had enough Polyfiller left over from his house build .

Rich,
AND I didn't have to ask (falls over ) - Ł80 .

Justin,
Probabaly the second it gets dirty - you know what I'm like .

Rod,
That's a relief, I was beginning to get scared about the thought of having to drive the MAD/IMA car .

You'll be putting masking tape on the front next, to stop the stone chips

Always nice to see a car been freshly painted

Update:

Since having the car back, it hasn't left the garage (apart from when I quickly cleaned it on Saturday from the journey back from Brum). Problem is, I'm now thinking that if the roads are wet on the club night next week, I'll take the Scooby .

Anyone please advise a possible cure for these actions .

Ian, his secret polishing fetish usually only affected Phil

I have seen his car clean once, but I think Harvey took pity on him and washed it
