Re: My PH1 172

Good attention to detail as always Scott, though I know what it's like to enjoy detailing, driving and owning a mint car. Sorry your Fiesta is going but know the score after getting rid of my XR2 recently due to lack of space and time.
Still I've got the 172 to keep minty fresh now. Will give the pup a going over again this weekend, not as thorough as last week though as most was done then! But my OCD side wont let me leave it!!! Will be filthy again by Monday though due to where I work. A long driveway full of mud, stones and potholes!!

Re: My PH1 172

Paul, a long driveway full of mud stones and potholes would be my worst nightmare...lol

Mine needs a good wash as my wheels are black (bloody DS2500 pads) although i did manage to give it a hoover out the other day. Just wish this snow and cold weather would do one so i can spend the day cleaning it.
Its good to see a few lovley PH1s on here with like minded people who own them, makes me feel so not alone....lol

Re: My PH1 172

Gave the car a quick wash today, then took my son to Lakeside.
Car came up rather good i think, last time i washed it i gave it a cote of AG extra gloss protection which has done its job.
(Sorry for the picts they where taken with my phone)

Re: My PH1 172

That looks spotless mate. Not helping my current need for a ph1 again lol.

Sorry....:rasp:

Thanks mate!

Aye she's great mate thanks for asking! Not had a full nights sleep since she arrived lol

It does get better, we would have loved a little girl but we got two boys instead.

Enjoy every day mate as they grow up so bloody fast

Re: My PH1 172

Was an absolute pleasure working on this car. The best ph1 I've seen in a long time, I'll be doing a little write up ASAP. It really is a credit to Scott, this is an amazing ph1 and was getting compliments all day!

Re: My PH1 172

So after my day at Ants and getting the car detailed i noticed that there where a few parts on the car that i was not happy with.
The both side sills had stone chips on and a few marks where i guess they get knocked by peoples feet while getting in and out of the car, also the rear bumper had been touched up in a few small places.

So i removed the sills and the rear bumper while it was bloody snowing so that i could take them to Chris @ Autocrash.
Got to his at around 2pm and end up staying there untill about 5 chatting about cars....

He seems to know his stuff and is a nice guy to chat with, but the best part is his very fussy just like me which i was very pleased about :D
Chris got my parts out of my van and got a spray out chip so he could make sure the parts where going to be a good match which they where 100%

Im in no rush so i think im going to be getting them back in about 2 weeks or so.

Car looking very sad for its self.

Re: My PH1 172

So i gave the muck from behind the bumper a wash off the other day ready for the painted bumper and side sills to be fitted.
I got a message from Chris @ Autocrash today saying my bits have been painted and will be polished tomo so ready for collection at the weekend.

Im going over to his on sunday morning and i hope the weathers going to be nice so i can fit it back up. :)
