Thanks guys. Altogether there was over 400 hours put into the respray on the escort. I'm unbelievably fussy when it comes to paint.

Yeah I'm serious about the time that went into it. My mate only uses it as a weekend toy so was in no rush to get it back. It was done in my spare time at evenings and weekends over four months.

Davy is the man and has the patience of a saint.... He done such a fantastic job to my pride and joy.. It was up against the best Rs cars north and south last month at the RS Owners Club National Day .... not only did it win best in class she also won car of the day.. I was sooo happy and it was all down to one man

everyone commented on depth of the shine and flawless finish in black I'll post up some pics later... Thanks all for the nice comments

P.s. I've also got a mk2 gti

 

Walked into the shop looking for a quote for some work while Davy was polishing the rear panel behind the bumper, "shur it'll never be seen I said" I can see it now so it's gettin polished was the answer!

Serious attention to detail and a car nut so it's a win win situation!

Top job fella

 

This picture was at the ford show new Ross a day after Davy handed the car back to me and guess what she won best in 90s class

 

Here's a pic of her at national day .

Not to steal from the RS thread, Davy also did the paint on Graham's rado.
