Re: FRP #160/500 Oh and now to my standards... Although the exhaust is like new!

Re: FRP #160/500 That sounds like the car I now own! ;)

Re: FRP #160/500 Time to make things shiny!

Re: FRP #160/500 Erm it isn't rusty, it's not built by drunk men at Ford and it had no archgap. :( Great cars, infact brilliant cars, but like I said in the other thread, the 2 of them were sat side by side when I bought the Frp, the Trophy was immaculate and I never even gave it a second...

Re: FRP #160/500 Swirlmarks at the least of the problems on this paintwork! Oh hi there Billybob4.

Re: FRP #160/500 Haha! You have a Cortina fetish how the hell do you not understand my madness! Indeed mate. Paintwork needs a lot of work (from my standards) but it was the whole point of buying one cheap that had had proper mechanical work done. For eg 2x front calipers at £600 fitted...

Déjà vu innit? Anyway last year I decided in my wisdom to sell the best car I have owned... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?642965-Ford-Racing-Puma-467-%A35500 In hindsight it was still the right decision as they were at their height price wise before slumping a tad...

Are you sure AP's are standard?

Too much on mate. If it had been kinda August time mate I would have considered it but it's not the easiest trip for me it's a full weekend.

:(

It's actually a Ford part and I understand Quaife made a lot of Ford ones in the past but it's a 909 part which means it was built for this car. A S2 Escort RST one can fir with machining work. Lols. I'm not like I used to be. Had too much on the past week mate, too many fingers too many pies!

Negative. Not a fan mate on my roads. It can be a tad grabby just not really needed for what I use the car for. On track imo it would come alive.

262 BOTTLES GUYS!

Oh.

The difference will Alex is he is paid in a lot of cases to take these pictures opposed to taking pictures and hope to make money off them. The Veyron is special. Subtle colouring works so so well with it.

Indeed mate. I have all receipts from when it was first purchased (The plate has been on since it was registered) she had many complaints about the car. It was hand built at the end of the day and i'm not sure she expected it to look handbuilt. :o £24500 she paid for the car plus a T1 cobra...

Lovely mate. They are stunning cars for the money. They still feel expensive 10 years on. Not many cars can do that.

Brilliant piece of machinery Gaz. Looking forward to more pics. Very very jealous the fact you got it all sealed up etc before it even hit the road!

Nice pics. I really have gone off this colour now though.

Me.

How can you compare it to twitter? That'a completely different type of media. If anything it's closer to Face"look what I had for dinner"book.

Yeah i'm not sure about the megs stuff. I know one is called a swirl remover. To be fair remove swirls with whatever you want but refining needs finesse. It's needs a finesse product imo. Plenty out there.

Yeah. It's got a tad more bite than 85RD and spreads just like butter. Love 106fa.

No it's not bouncy, it's very compliant which is a good thing, it's just a weird sensation with the Trophy. It moves well with bumps and lumps on the road, it's never crashy.

It's a little project for me at the moment. So i'm looking forward to bringing it up to scratch to be honest. I did have my last one for 2 years. So we'll see. Just can't believe how flat it is in the corners, thinking because these dampers are older they're actually less harsh? But still...

Ultrafina is the best finishing polish but seems to suit rotary better. I'd be looking at Menzerna finishing polish with a hex pad Blue/Black probably.

You don't really have a proper finishing polish.

Can you list me your polishes and pads please?

Yeah detailing in proper sun will never work mate. Panel are simply too hot at times.

It has it's pros and it's cons. The general public do recognise a properly detailed car over a clean one. I know that as fact now. From the Frp, TT, Trophy. Properly clean cars sell, mostly to enthusiasts of course. But still it shows it's been properly looked after imo. Even though it might...
