Apologies for no posts for a while, I have being run off my feet, so more posts to follow when I get the chance...

I had the pleasure of detailing this beauty for Mat, after doing his Focus RS /viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2753 and RS2000 /viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2795 which were both a pleasure to work on in such a nice work environment.

The Escort Cosworth in question, has had extensive work done by Mat himself, replacing everything to back to new condition.

It all started by polishing the last section of the exhaust for me, using Britemax metal polish via rotary... Before:



After:



A small example of the work that Mat has put in...



























First off, the interior was tackled, Mat being a little OCD like myself, removed the front seats... Before:























Certainly not bad at all, after a little George+ time...















Next the drivers seat was refurbished, not removing every crease, but making it look like the others in comparison... Befores:















Repair of a slight tear in the base



Other repairs of the cracking etc





Back in the car after recolouring and satin sealant applied (conditioning done at a later time)





Front plate removed ready for the new ones and ready for the detail process (Mat had extensively cleaned the car and had not been outside since!)





The car had had a 'traditional' machine polish after the car had being resprayed, prior to Mat buying it, so a few buffer trails and a little lack of clarity...







A little play to refine at this stage with S17+ (further finishing down afterwards)



More imperfections:













After, including the rear lights







Other side, before and after









Boot lid before

Spoiler before and after

Roof area before







First area refined





Bonnet before, showing buffer trails

Befores:

Before and after on the door pillar





Before's















After









Rear quarter before and after













Then onto the refinement stage





















Forgot to say earlier on, the engine bay had being steam cleaned and dressed



And finally the finished shots wearing a layer of tough coat, followed by a bespoke 'nuba

Revive on trim, glass polished with dodo SN glass polish and clearly menthol, tires, CG G6 hypercoat













































And onto the ramp to check everything is in order on the underside again....



If you got this far, thank you for reading as always Mike @ Deeper Detail

As said over on DW mate, properly, PROPERLY nice!
The extent of work Mat must have put into that is mind boggling, finished of by your good self a treat mate.
Bravo

Thanks Dave, I was late writing it up the other night, so I've only just had chance to post on our fine dodo forum... Mat's dedication saw him using up one of his 3 ramps for a total of 8 months (as quoted on dw) and when you think I saw him remove the gearbox to fit a bush in under an hour, you can only imagine...

It is for sale for some lucky collector to snap up.

Lovely, has to be a future show winner !!

Thanks mate, it is a fine example.

That's pure class bud,wud sell one of monsters for it lol

what can i say mate, you are a god! i'd love to know how many hours the two of you have clocked on this absolute beauty. stunning work from both of you, you must be very proud of the end result.

Cheers Lewis, lol, don't let your wife see that post!

Lol, I wouldn't go that far, but very, very kind Nick.

As an idea of how long Mat has spent on it, he had it on a ramp in his unit for 8 months and he's a really fast mechanic! (With OCD)

Myself, including the drivers seat resto, around a week, but not all full days.
