Must admit it looks even better in real life mate, should easily fgetch what you want for it

You really need to remove the gunk from the old badge though

I was chatting to a neighbour yesterday about that.

It's not "gunk" it's where they've sprayed around the old badge and then the badge ahs been prised off.

It was the plan it order one from the states but it just slipped my mind . . .

any good


I'll have a look later on for one . . . hopefully it arrives in time.

Just been out and blasted the wheels with the firehose . . . depending on when I get done today I may give the whole car a clean - ready for polishing.

I've found a guy selling both the wreath (around the lock) and the "Eldorado" script I need.

His auctions finish in a week ! - So I've asked if he could do a B-I-N for me a ship ASAP.

I hope he goes for it.

Roadkill

Well.  

She's had a thorough wash today - door shuts, boot shut etc . . .

All four hubcaps have had about 10 minutes each spent on them (at least).

All wheel arches have been de-crudded and blasted out.



Hopefully, time and weather permitting I'll get the boot hoovered and the boot mat cleaned tomorrow.

Maybe even attack the inside (this was half-done when I first got her so shouldn't be too much of a problem . . . ).



It's great when the boss is off.

Just brought both the "Eldorado" script and the wreath emblems I need for the Eldo.

Both, including postage to the U.K, was $20.93 - so about £10.50.

Me happy - the guy was very accomodating.

Just hope they arrive ASAP.

Wow bet the ol caddy is wondering what the heck is going on with all this cleaning!!!!

Roadkill

I'm keeping my fingers crossed tha the replacement emblems show up today/tomorrow . . .



She's getting six months tax today.



I'm also getting some Battleship GREY mixed up to paint the rear sections with.

I think it'll be £12.99 well spent.

Paint?


Winner!! That is exactly right

Roadkill

It's called . . . . . "BLUE - GREY"

Translated means grey with blue in it.

So, again, IT'S F*CKING GREY !!!
