All going well so far thanks, have spent this weekend tidying up the ends caps for both cars and spraying them up again to look nice and fresh! Initially I wasn't such a fan of the earlier Mk3s as I thought they were a bit too bland.... but the more I fall in love with them the more I think they are the ones I should be pining after; they seem to have a lot more character than the later Laser for sure, even if the interior are very brown!!Green-Ghia wrote:Hey Danny how's things? Hope all is well. I agree and can understand your GL's rarity being a motivator: I do love the earlier MK3 models rarity ie your L, GL, Ghia etc - certainly not many about these days at all.
Good progress so far on the wheels and hopefully the Dremmel will help. Monumental socks by the way, love them!!!
Thanks, the GL was quite a nice surprise to find, I wasn't exactly planning to buy a second but when the guy only wanted £400 I thought I'd be stupid to say no as I see cars that look exactly the same sell on fleabay for closer to £900-1200 and figured why not!ESSEXV6ESSEX wrote:Just read this, excellent stuff. 2 nice cars. That GL must be a very rare car these days great find.. Looking forward to the finished results.
I'm not thinking that it's going to be a particular gold mine as such... I know it's not the most desire-able etc. but if nothing else I'm hoping the 'rarity factor' will at least make it slightly easier to sell (if it does ever happen) rather than bump up the price exponentially.Arya2.0S wrote:If you plan to sell the GL, dont expect an immense price for it. Thought its rare, it doesnt mean its gonna be valuable as i had a low mileage GL auto with all its original service history, even had its original owners manual and Ford catalogue and could barely sell it for a profit after a light restoration.
Not to piss on your parade or anything, just preparing you for reality in case you're thinking of selling it once its done. I thought i had a gold mine and turned out it wasnt.
Ahoy there, I got mine on eBay, I have put the link below for you and from memory is the same price I paidArya2.0S wrote:Hey, how much was that spiffy new rad and where'd ya get it from?

Lets hope his B******S Fester for Xmas.......D366Y wrote:Hi Andrew,
I was just startled by the whole thing! No sooner had this guy run out into the side of the car had he run off again! Was certainly a strange occurrence as other than that my day continued as normal! But I think I will treat myself after Christmas with a dash cam, I can no longer risk some of these crazy old ladies pulling out on me!

Sounds like he was showing off to his mates 'doing a Professionals', or something like that?D366Y wrote:some moron pedestrian decided to run out in the road, ran into the front wing, rolled onto and then off of my lovely bonnet again leaving a scratch from the middle of the bonnet bulge
