Shagmonkey made me cry!!!

[Ace Melon]

After a pleasant blat down the A46 and M1 from Market Rasen to Hemel Hempstead Me and Merlin (My lift home) met up with John jmc123 to collect some bits for Paul (Shagmonkey).
A very pleasant breakfast was had and as usual when Cougar owners with stuff get together some deals were instigated!! Then off we toddled for the second leg
Outside the Cafe. Mines in the middle

Eventually we pitched up at Pauls. He seemed a decent chap. Offered beer. decent conversation then ...... Look what he did to my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And inside!!!!

A scene of devastation.

Watch this space...No not that one....This one \|/

What is it with Paul and empty cougars! Remind me never to go within 50 miles of Paul's house
I'm sure the end result will be worth it Al. awaiting piccies with baited breath.

 

[pauldf1971]

thats amazing the amount of tools you can find when you remove the interior lol

 

[charliecd001]

Jesus Al your car looks like the contents of a macdonalds bin !

 

[Ace Melon]

In my defence it was very hot!! But yeah, it's minging innit I did find money, a full pack of chewing gum and lots of window glass!!!!!

 

[pauldf1971]

how many illegal immigrants were found?

 

[charliecd001]

How Tall is Shaggers I only ask because I saw the ladders at the side of your car.:angel:

 

[Pid_16V]

.....any carrots?..............

 

[Ace Melon]

no carrots or immigrants. paul is about 5'10"-6'. its shocking the noise the plastics make when you pull them out!!
and I'm off to bed. its been a long day

 

[Sabre Tooth]

Looking forwards to seeing the finished article Al, are you having a new 3 piece suite installed too?

 

[davidoff]

Look forward to seeing the finished product. I am sure it will be worth the wait

 

[adz-cougar]

looking forward to the end result Al!!

 

[Everton]

What are you having done to your cat? Something pretty extensive considering the desolation in the pictures!

 

[scunnycougar]

i have no doubt he will make you cry again when you pick the car up - but only because i bet it looks better than new when you do!

 

[TopCat1127]

Standard procedure at a cougar meet Al, if your coming to fest there'll be a few cars in a similar state lol, shaggers will sort it no worries hehe

 

[ginja]

I wonder if Paul (Shagmonkey) is related to James May only kidding he does a great job of detailing

 

[Shagmonkey]

Well what can I say...I just can't help myself

BTW, the ladders were out because I was helping my neighbour put up some facia cladding.

Not much done so far as I spent the day (7.30 -6.00) at Goodwood Festival of speed. If I get a chance I will stick up some piccies I took (in another thread) and some video clips.

Was up at 8am this morning fitting his new dials however. See below. Just need to put the needles on etc

Notice the flash has highlighted some scratches? Well I spotted them too so will be polishing them out also. OCD me??? naaaaaaaa

Plan for the rest of today is to sort out the headlights and fog lights. One of his headlights is soooooooooo (insert expletive here) that I am looking forward to seeing what i can do with it!

Then onto preparing the plastics for painting...

Right. No more time for idle chit chat......

 

[ginja]

They look a little like C2 dials, or are they those stainless ones you sell?

 

[Shagmonkey]

They are the stainless ones I sell bud.

Ok.....I tackled the (insert expletive) headlight and by God what a nightmare !! I have had to go down to 240 grit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow. It has taken me 2 hours of wet sanding to get a good enough finish with the 240 to start working my way up. Talk about deep stone chips!!! Jeez!
However my hand and fingers were killing me so I decided to give them a rest and move onto something else for a while.

Piccies will follow this evening at some point...

 

[Ace Melon]

I did say it was cosmetically challenged
240 grit??? Isn't that the same as brick rubble?
