Unhappy my hearts no longer in it

as the tittle says.

ive spent hours on her today and it all seems to be for nothing.

it would seem that her body work is letting her down, i have clayed her and i was expecting some great results, but no

i really do not know what to do, when i go to the meets i want to park her away from all the others.

i brought her in a sorry'ish state hoping that i could turn her around, but it would seem that i just can't.

i have got her running perfectly and she is sweet as a nut.

i am now seriously thinking about selling her, as i have just not got the money to sort out her body.

i really do not know where i am with her right now

any advice would be so gratefully recieved.

here is some pictures of todays failed attempt

before:





after:











not much difference

What would you want us to say?

The car looks perfect to me?

Have you forgotten to clean your glasses?

Erm, it looks brand new compared to mine. But then most look brand new compared to mine. Seriously though Carla I've had the same thoughts, but where do you stop? My car needs a respray full stop. So If get a respray, I also get supermarket dings, stone chips, narrow lane hedge scratches and bumper scrapes. Know what I'm saying here? These cars are to be enjoyed, just drive it!

You'd be surprised how many of us are in the same boat Carla, honestly, you have nothing to be ashamed of nor disappointed with, your car does look good

The majority of us are driving old cars that have marks, I know I am , so honestly, don't take it to heart, just enjoy your car
