 Topic: a worthwhile but long dayPosted: 13-July-2008 at 22:07 |
|
was up at the crack of dawn(6.30am saturday) yesterday to head out to lovely Penicuik to tie up wie Paul(vpricey) to see what he could do wie my fading and scratched paintwork. arrived between 8.30 and 9.00 after being rescued by Paul due to that blasted SAT NAV taking me down some cul de sac
car was washed by pauls friend Ian (very nice 130i). I thought then my god it's already cleaner than I ever get it and they've hardly started. Paul soon got to work and started off with the bonnet and quickly realised it was going to be a long day. after an hour or so he was getting nowhere the repainted bonnet was like concrete so we decided to carry on with the rest of the car and come back to the bonnet last. meanwhile I started to remove the wheels to clean and polish and attack the arches while the wheels were off. the hours were passing quickly and due to the state of the paintwork it was one step forward and two back. the wheels were done and I moved onto waxing the car. as darkness was beginning to fall I was starting to look for a comfortable corner of the garage to bed down in for the night but miraculously Paul managed to finish and we packed up at wait for it 11pm a total of 14hrs spent. I went to fire it up to blast home but low and behold a dead battery. after a lot of messing about we eventually got going and I arrived home at 1.26am sunday morning. no before pics but here's some after 
A big thanks to Paul(vpricey) what a job young man  .
another thanks goes to his mate Ian for a loan of his facilities I hope we didn't overstay our welcome. and finally a big thanks to Tennants Lager for quenching my thirst at 1.27am sunday morning and again tonight Paul you have created a monster now that I've had an insight to how clean the beast could be.

Stevie's original pics of the finished job were impressive
However, I'm really more impressed seeing Paul's before and after pics, what a fantastic job you've done |

Paul, I think you'll need an agent at this rate to represent you and to sort out your bookings.
I'll reluctantly accept 10% commission
