Unlucky that. But that's why a bucket is what I would use

Its snowing here :rolleyes: and forecast for the whole weekend :undecided:


I'd forgotten how it started out as well tbh! Awesome change, and even if the paint isn't the best, at least its all straight and one colour :cool: Love projects that start out like that and then recover!

Cheers dec. I need to keep mindful of the point of doing this project. I wanted a nice looking car  that didn't cost the earth. My paint looks great from 2 metres away. The closer you get the more imperfections you see. Well, i see them anyway!  But if i'd have wanted perfect paint i could have had it- at a price.

She's dead!

My mate crashed his car so i lent him mine so he can get to work. Went to pick it up today and it won't start. Bugger.

No idea what it is but i'm sure we'll sort it soon enough. Tried to jump start it but it didn't even try. Engine bay smells a bit petrolly so assume its getting fuel. Will confirm and check for spark in next few days. Poor thing.
