Default I'm knackered.

Due to the fact we are attending the Border Vintage Car meet this coming sunday (as a club) i took the chance today to get the Silver Beastie cleaned .

It was thick with tar spots and sandpaper like grime .

Now these are big cars we have and it took me six hours to get it back to original paintwork .

Currently my limbs ache and my knees are about to give out on me .


However and it,s a big however the car is looking mint.

I doubt i will be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning and ive still got the alloys to do .

The car will be in exceptional company as some really well looked after club members cars will be there .

The club are now being well represented at these meets and attract a lot of interest.

Future Classics ????

Oh yes ..

No pain, no gain, George

I'm sure your car looks superb after all your hard work. I know a lot of folk aren't so keen on our silver cars but, they do look good when they're nice and shiny
