A friends grandfather had an accident and as a result his car was sitting idle and going to the scrappy. I was asked if I wanted it. Yes was the reply as always.
So on the 29th of October 2004 the car was mine.
What did I need with a crappy 1993 Ford Orion? nothing thats what, however I like to give my mum cars so it was signed in her name and she had a new car. This was also the period when Project Y's clutch had gone pop.
The car was taxed until the 31st of Oct so only a day left on it and was MOT'd until the 15th of Nov if I remember correctly.
30th October
Daylight and it had been a good few months since I had last seen the car in daylight. It was a bit dirty to say the least, as it had sat for a while.
yep 79, 745 miles
Raging 1.8 105 PS zetec gangsta mofo engine
As the pictures show it was in dire need of a clean. There were also a few issues that needed sorting for the MOT.
Anyway 2 days later I eventually got around to washing it.
this was just a blast off with the pressure washer
other side untouched
again clean side, that was full of green slimy goo
other side untouched
badges, again green build up
after a blast (pre soap!)
Sadly the pictures were on the camera phone thus not that great, it looks drastic here but to have seen it in the flesh was amazing, again pre soap, just a blast off with the jet wash
Note driveway wasn't finished!
The Ford badge, couldn't take the pressure, the pressure washer blasted it clean off!
note missing trim, this wing had been replaced, the colour was slightly different. You can also see the crazing in the lower black section of the wing.
looks a lot better eh! Thats just a simple wash.
As it was after the wash I could have probably got at least 50 quid for it, considering all I did was wash it thats a good deal. But My mum needed a car so I had to get it sorted.
