Another car collection: Blowjobs and a manky escort.

[philibusmo]

It's 5:45am, it's still dark, I've got a backpack with some tools in it and my running shoes.

Time for a poorly thought out car collection!

[philibusmo]

Leg number one completed:

Now to await the iron horse.

Nothing like a swift sprint through Bristol Temple Meads thanks to a delay on the line taking up 10 of the 12 minutes you had available to change train. 

Just managed to leap onto the next train and away we go.

I hope you weren't serious about the bloke in the bushes, jeez.

[sdkrc]

Fair fucks to the lad getting head at 6am on a Friday. A life some of us can only dream of

No jokes, I was as surprised as you.

They must have a very hectic schedule for 6am on a Friday to be the only opportunity for canoodling in some bushes.

[Rust Collector]

Four dog walkers, two cars, a badger and a bloke all getting head in a bush? Fuck me, it's wild out your way!

[LoftyvRS]

Normally it's a poo count, first time I've seen a BJ count on a collection!

A shrubbery! 

Was the bloke a knight who says "Ni!" 

[philibusmo]

I have reached the flavoursome city of Worcester, now to find this car and hopefully someone with some keys and paperwork.

No, he was more modern than that and said  "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!"

[GeordieInExile]

I reckon it's gonna be another C6. The bug is extremely contagious.

[philibusmo]

Here it is from far away. Looks quite good at this distance.

You win apparently

[timolloyd]

You’ll be the one getting head in the shrubbery, now you’re driving that fanny magnet.

[High Jetter]

No need for shrubbery now he's got those comfy* seats!

I was beating them off with a shitty stick when I drove it north.

Crap! For a minute there I thought I'd actually won a rofl.
Whew!

[philibusmo]

here are some close up shots

The body on this thing is really quite rough in odd spots but seems solid in the important ones. To drive it goes really well, everything feels tight and nice to use.

I'm doing some tidying to the bodywork but am struggling to find paint for it. The only paint code I can find is 314 on the plate under the bonnet, which brings up nothing online. Any ideas?

[yes oui si]

Good luck with it. These are oddly appealing... An auto saloon or estate would be ideal.

these are the Greens from the 93 Escort brochure but not sure either look quite right 

plus a photo of an Escort in what I presume is Tourmaline green 

[philibusmo]

With this being a 96 car, I think it might be mint green metallic XSC2737

The colour looks right in the sample image squares I've seen but the name doesn't seem right. I'd expect mint green to be a bit more lurid.

[philibusmo]

It's had the rot chopped out of its door and a patch welded in. It's not perfect but this area was a big rusty hole with filler piled in, looks like it might have had damage there early in its life which had slowly gone rotten under the filler repair.

It's got some filler on top again now to try and get the creases a bit better as they were difficult to get close to being right.

Most other rust spots, except for the ones around the screen have been ripper back to good metal, treated and a thin layer of filler applied.

Currently it's driving around with big yellow filler primer patches all over it and looks worse than this morning but it should be quite a big improvement when I've got some paint.

Top swage work!
