ha ha ha me too, i just brought a focus 1.6 hdi, its good mechanically but the bodywork needs some elbow grease, like ross i already had in everything i needed to bring it back to life, spent 4-5 hours on it today and have only done half the car. !
I don't think it had ever seen polish in its life, dull paint, swirls in the lacquer and so many tar spots and contaminants that the panels felt like rough sand paper.
Half the car is now mirror smooth and the paint looks very good, its amazing how you can pull a tired looking motor back to its former glory.
