He cleaned it reasonbly good for the 05 AllFordDay early in the morning outside fordgirls place. I was proud, impressed etc. Then he bought out a dirty rag and quickly wiped over his dirty mags. haha that was a let down but the car was still pretty damn clean.
speaking of that john, i remember you recording video of that morning. Do you still have it ?

Agreed. It looks neat in the first photos you posted, but seeing it with the kit on again makes it look really smooth.

Yeah, i really miss the kit.
so much car stuff on the go so i'm getting stuff done, just the kits something that takes time and doesn't show results quickly.
so its hard to be enthused.
i also need a spare EF bootlid :P

There was a complete and fairly straight EF Fairmont at Pick-a-Part in heritage green for $1400 not long ago. It would have been good for you to get bits off if you wanted some panels and stuff.

Should've told you but I didn't know.

well you want the kit back on, HURRY UP AND DO IT.
you said lack of enthusiasm but the kit getting finished should be enough to get you to finish it knowing you like the finished look. why another bonnet? you have one in the shed?
yup the cars was clean in the top pics only cause we started it and i wasnt allowed to clean all of it at home.
i think you should start to work on the kit this weekend!!!!
