Default the gfs moonstone mk4 escort cabby

Well after spraying it in a hurry a few years ago she wanted more bits done to it recently, bodywork isnt mint and could do with re-doing in places one of these days, but then i did do it in 2days!! but over the last month or so she asked me to smooth the recesses out of the front and rear bumpers and paint, then do the front RS options splitter and spray and fit S1 arches and skirts!! manages to get round to painting them but unfortunatly the arches cracked in loads of places so guessing the paint reacted with the old paint underneath so need redoing doh!!

Here it is anyway









(only taped on to see how they look!!)

Ermmm whos this?! sorry dont recognise ur username

Cossie's getting there slowly, had other priorities sorting the house out etc over the last few years so the cossie was shelfed for a while but the engine is getting sorted as we speak so should be running again soon

Amount of people knocking on my parents door is untrue!! should have covered the bloody thing up ages ago but everyone whos anyone knows its there now so.


Twins, cheers mate, wasnt a fan of doing the lights the same colour either but its what she wanted, i was gonna give them a light metallic black smoke but hey ho dont actually look too bad in the light thou!

Annoying not having a garage to do it all in as have to hire booth time to do the work, so prob gonna be a few weeks before the arches are done which is a shame!!

Few additions to the car, S1 arches are on properly now and the quad lights are on.

Now she wants another cabby shes got her eyes on, lucky me

Cheers for the nice comments, just gotta finish the interior bits off as shes got the other cabby coming down soon so hers will be up for sale at some point

Just trying to persuade her to keep the smoothed bumpers and put them on the other one as it has a cos replica front bumper on which im not a fan of!!
