Andyb0127 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Been working on the escort over the summer, wheels have been refurbed inside and out, mouldings, plastics trims ie door handles, door locks, wipers, plastic scuttle, have all been prepped and painted satin black, managed to get some side skirts very cheap so they been painted and fitted. Next year body work will be started, shame really as the only panels that have been painted so far are the tailgate, front and rear bumpers, the rest of the car is original even tho its now just hit fifty thousand miles. http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-2.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-3.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-6.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-7.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-8.jpg wheels refurbed.http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-4.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-5.jpg just few side pics of trims that have been done in satin black.http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-9.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary.jpghttp://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/Andyb0127/temporary-1.jpg Probably about as much as this car will have done to it, as would like to keep it looking standard, only thing will be full respray next year. But thats easy for me being in the trade im in, well used to be as i no longer work for the bmw/merc bodyshop, i know work for a smart repair centre.

scottybo Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 how much would u be able to get a complete respray for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyb0127 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 how much would u be able to get a complete respray for?Depends how much work would be involved in prepping the car ready for paint. The paint isn't a problem as i can get that fairly cheap with being in the trade its discounted quite well so i get the higher end paints which look better in the end result.

Then next thing i know its turned into a full respray so i may just aswell do the whole car. Very smart looking - love that scuttle panel!Thanks JC. Saves having to put a trim dressing on it all the time. Its so easy to do tho. i like it. ill give u sum of my brotherly pepper red five door love lolLol thanks mate.
