Brilliant pics mate!

I only managed to get around the motors of fiestaturbo.com but my mate's got 250 pics from the day!

No pics of my Dad's cabby?

J/k mate - what camera did you use?

Cheers,

Andy

by **Gaz7** on Mon May 17, 2004 1:40 pm

Andy, cheers mate, camera is a Sony Cybershot, and lol, sorry for missing the cabby, come in your FRST next year and i won't miss that

Spoon, cheers, she shone in the sun nice

I tried to find you yesterday for a chat, but couldn't :-?

Chum - yours was looking nice and shiny yesterday so couldn't resist a quick snap shot

Took a couple but that was the best one.

Was good to say hi/bye mate, shame it was in such sad circumstances

Will have to chat at the next show we're both at, and like you say hopefully I'll be in the tubby.

Cheers,

Andy

Andyblacks frst is shining lol

by **Gaz7** on Mon May 17, 2004 2:28 pm

Andy - yeah good to see you, but shame about the circumstances, everyones mood was obviously pretty muted when we were there. See you at the next show!

Dave - thanks mate

Which car was yours? I've got quite a few pics of other peoples cars from FT but i don't know who they belong to...

Gareth

by **dave_si** on Mon May 17, 2004 2:37 pm

by **RS_Rawli** on Mon May 17, 2004 3:41 pm

gaz your turbo is quality dude rispect

by **DJ Josh** on Mon May 17, 2004 5:51 pm

Nice pics Gaz, your car looked awesome yesterday!!

by **Capri** on Mon May 17, 2004 6:36 pm

Gaz, great pics mate, lovely to see the old girl in amongst them, I look at that pic and I still can't believe I get to drive that thing

Was good to meet you, your car's mintness is quite amazing and I have to say you've done a top job with that car

Good pics there, nice one!

by **Max M4X WW** on Mon May 17, 2004 6:43 pm

Christ Capri, Your car is very clean! Didnt realise how nice it was.

Gaz, How can i get my car that shiney? Or cant i? Does it need a respray?

by **16VSi** on Mon May 17, 2004 10:02 pm

Your car was looking absolutely spot on as per normal Gaz.

Definitely one of the best on show yesterday.

Standard can be beautiful!!

by **Capri** on Mon May 17, 2004 10:04 pm

Cheers max

by **Gaz7** on Tue May 18, 2004 12:37 am

Rawli, Josh, Capri - thanks

i'm glad people liked my car

16VSi - thanks as well

People think i don't like modded cars, but i do, i just could never mod mine or it would ruin what it is

And there always needs to be someone with a standard one amongst all the modded ones

Which Si was yours yesterday?

Max - you don't need a respray, you can get a shine like that with a lot of hard work. The paintwork was good when i first picked her up, and that shine is the culmination of years of polishing, and trying different products and techniques.

What about one of those electric buffers?

by **Superal** on Tue May 18, 2004 9:56 am

my car will be undergoing a full buffing session with one of those....they polish the car so well...when my uncle done my bonnet it really brought the colour out...

by **Max M4X WW** on Tue May 18, 2004 9:59 am

Hmm, Mate tried with one and he said it sprayed the polish everywhere when he put it on! I was thinking of just using it to buff.

by **Superal** on Tue May 18, 2004 10:06 am

sorry its what i meant....polish by hand into the bodywork then run the machine over it

by **RS_Rawli** on Tue May 18, 2004 10:06 am

get a pro to do it, dont do it ureself it will look cack, leave swirl marks and youll probably burn thro the paint?

mine had all been buffed and both sides ahd been flatted with p3000's first, but u cant really tell how shiney a white car is anyway

rawli

by **Superal** on Tue May 18, 2004 10:17 am

i wouldnt do it myself for those reasons exactly

how much is the charge usually for a full car polish and buff?

by **RS_Rawli** on Tue May 18, 2004 10:19 am

i charge about £30 for a full hit, with both compounds and pads and wax and everythin afterwards

by **Superal** on Tue May 18, 2004 10:23 am

damn if you were nearer to me i would have been down like a shot to visit you....once my car has an engine that is :lol:

by **Gaz7** on Tue May 18, 2004 1:32 pm

As Rawli said, don't do it yourself unless you know what you're doing or it'll look rubbish, polishing by hand is much more satisfying

Been trying to upload more pics this morning but a few won't work - tried to upload pics of Rawli's car but it comes up as 'not a recognised format' which is strange.....

not recognised format/over recognised car, too many H116 FCM on ft.com :lol:

by **~Tony~** on Tue May 18, 2004 2:37 pm

yeah gaz i'm gonna have to get you to teach me how to clean my car properly. should be a good basis as it is getting resprayed soon due to it being keyed.

when it comes to cleaning you are the guru. looking good by the way mate

great post

by **Gaz7** on Wed May 19, 2004 11:43 am

Cheers mate

Once you've had yours sprayed you'll be able to keep it nice no probs, so we can go from there

Gareth

by **~Tony~** on Wed May 19, 2004 12:09 pm

cool mate i'm looking forward to it. cant wait til its looking mint and shiney again
