Thought for the day

Good evening chaps (and chapesses)!
Since buying it last November, I have spent nearly every weekend underneath the car, and the body has accumulated grease and grime. It started to look a bit tatty, and because this weekend I can't really do much to it (it's all ready to go to Spyder in a couple of days) and I had some time, I decided to wash and polish it. I ended up washing it, claybaring it, washing it a second time, drying it with a chamois and polishing it with some very expensive polish.
Mine doesn't have perfect paintwork. However, it sure does scrub up well.
I thought I'd share some pictures with you, as a reminder that, although you may be up to your elbows in grease, rust, tatty trim and all the other nastiness that classic car ownership entails, somewhere at the end of the tunnel is a beautiful car waiting to be discovered..
Cheers
