Looking good Sterling,

Just need some tyre black now

Back the car up the hill and get a picture in the sun.

Did you extra cut the paint before the buff was used, mind the corners/edges with the machine buffs.

Don't rest the Jim beam or beer on the roof. it should slide off now.

Top effort Sterlo, 18 months of pain. Now the fun starts.

not sure mate, i didn't do the buffing, from memory he used;

rejuvenation compound, thick pasty stuff, and a hell coarse foam pad.
then some white cutting compound, with a finer pad.
then some swirl remover/polish stuff, with an even softer pad.
then it was just a wash and a hand polish.

i need to gourney through the washboard though, theres still some dried cutters in there i cant get out [:-(]

and yeah ill get a good pic in the sun, looks pretty nice.

and yeah realised the brake lights were on, had to adjust the brake light switch after i found the pedal off its bar. adjusted it perfectly, ( i like to have the Brake lights come on THE SECOND the pedal is touched [:x)] )

well my brake switch adjustment is now too sensitive. the lights come on when i depress the clutch! LOL

nothing to really update about. im just bored as...

i bought a pair of second hand rotors that turned out to be undersize, but i managed to get the part number for factory rotors, ordered them in though supercheap auto.

- called up, asked for rotors for a 1976 1600 ford escort, they contacted dba or abs or dbr or something, called me back and qouted me $300 for a pair!, yet when i gave them the part number, they qouted me just over $100 for a pair. now how the hell does that work? owell just glad its sorted. better be the right ones.

one the brake rotor nightmare is over (mostly my fault for dragging it out) then thats finally everything. ive said those words too many times!

only 8 weeks till im 18, running out of time lol...

Sterling...

If you ever need to source a part from supercheap, search for it on their online store, it lists the part numbers and price. Then, armed with this information, walk in or ring and quote the number and price. If you look on the website, there is also escort rotors for $300, thats why you need to look for yourself. That, and the young kid in the store probably has no idea what an escort is, let alone the part numbers.

orly? hmm that explains a bit then! cheers man

well, THE ESCORT FINALLY PASSED THE ROADWORTHY TODAY!!

Well done. When do you get it registered?

Finally, you have had to jump through some firey hoops to do it. Bet it feel's good to be finally done. When i finally got mine passed i was stoked [:x)]
