It hasn't ll bloomed up then  ;D

 

It's got a layer of dust on it and it could do with a sheet of 2000 wet and dry over it and a good polish ;D

Ben started flatting the car back today. I had an almost 1 year old who was tired but didn't want to sleep to look after so I was mainly in charge of bacon sandwiches and coffee, although I did a bit.

Unfortunately I haven't got a picture of the roof all done, but the car is going to be allowed to breathe until probably Sunday before being polished up.

 

Then I can start bolting bits on.........................

A little T-cut and polish to see how it looks.

 

Obviously the car will be properly mopped but we couldn't resist.

okay so I have just read this entire thread.. time might have got away from me and I think its fair to say I haven't had the most productive day at work!

 

Great to see the mini almost finished, awesome colour

 

Just hope my project goes as well and that I have the skill and enthusiasm to complete to such a high standard and to focus on all the little details.

 

Definitely inspired and raring to go!

 

Cheers

 

Emily

More flatting today, there's only a few bits left to do before it's all done, but there are other tasks that need done around the house

There's a lot going on at the moment, but I came home from work today to see Bens polishing on the mini

I'm utterly in love.

I can't wait to get bits put on it. It needs a little bit more love here and there, but I'm so pleased with it. There's more orange peel on next doors brand new Range Rover sport
