Morning chaps

 

I've been quiet for a while, and my cars have been sadly neglected due to the inconvenience of work!

 

My wife's Mk6 Ghia has just taken us to Scotland and back for Christmas - and proven that it's still a gutsy little car.

 

Since we've had it, it's been in three minor prangs, so has replacement bumpers, a new off side wing and driver's door. (some pics here http://www.aston-v8.co.uk/blog/more-non-roj-related-resto-work/)

 

Some time ago I replaced the cogs in the roof motor.

 

I've also swapped the interior for leather, the wheels to GT style and the exhaust for a roarty little SS job.

 

But more needs to be done.

 

I've put in a switch and wiring loom for a heated windscreen - and just need to have a screen fitted (anyone else had this done?)

 

The central locking system has gone haywire - and I'm looking at that now.

 

A few spots of rust need attention on the ridge behind the boot where the roof.folds in. I'm also having the paintwork generally tarted up.

 

I'd also like to upgrade the air-filter, plugs and cables.

 

My wife uses the car everyday, so we can't afford to have it off the road for all the work to be done - I already have a garage queen on axle stands! http://www.aston-v8.co.uk/blog/

 

Does anyone know an escort specialist in SE London - or would like to lend a hand in return for me lending a hand back with their project?
