Ive had a chat with Gaz today and cause his paint work is spot on and I know my paint work now is a bit orange peely so ive decided to get both sides painted so that it all matches.

If he just painted the panels he has repaired I know I wouldnt be happy with the match so I might as well get it looking mint.

looking good glenn

all you need to do now is change all your calendars back to 2013 and pretend all of last year never happened

while it's getting painted though, have you thought of any other mods that you wanted to do to it or are you happy the way it is?

for me, i was never happy with the way that the seats bolted directly down through the floors and the bolt heads would rot out so if i could i would have tried to invent a solution for that problem

All I can do is look back and think what a fook about lol.

Ive got no other mods. Only because I cant afford to lol.

I wanna get my focus rs wheels refurbed. When I put the bolts back in the seats im gonna make sure there is plenty of grease on them.

Looking miles better mate, it'll be perfect when it's done. Mine is almost ready for paint but I got called away with work before I could finish stripping it, another day at it and I should be ready to trailer it there, basically just got to take the doors off.

Anyway, enough about that, just wanted to let you know that you can get the front window seals from Ford if yours are bubbling, would be a shame to paint it and put bad ones back on.
