Guest Demonjams Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I can honestly say I love st orange but as a painter I can tell you it's a right pig to match!!!!. Bet the body shop painter was glad you didn't have another three stage pearl. I painted my mates fiesta in st orange and later down the line he had the one door broke into so he got another door and asked me to paint it, so writing down how many coats of each colour ( ground coat , base coat then pearl I repeated the process on his new door thinking it should match !!!! How wrong could I be!!!!I had to paint the whole side again and blend it out it was a right pig and it didn't want to cover either I think we used about 5 litres all in all when we resprayed it!! Never again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 so today was the day i turned the key to see what happend lol but first off a few other pics, my uncle repaired the pump cradel base, powder coated just that part and made new rubber bushes for it i fitted it at 11 at night minus one outside lol, fitted a rivnut to secure it properly yes i know its dirty under there after sorting that job i hadnt touched it for ages, in my spare time that i normally work on it ive had to spend working on my trusy vaux fixing a few issues its been giving me so the escort took a back seat so then today i started it up!! battery quite fooked but after using jump leads it didint take too long for it to spurt into life, it tapped its tits off lol, but eventually got more quiet, started twice ok, then battery dead, so not sure if its charging or the batt is just toast. idles ever so silghtly just a bit too high in my opinion, but other than that all seems well! need to try and get it near finished in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
