Black S2000 for Hamish

[ianking]

Hamish asked if I could get his S2000 back to its former glory.
Despite 2 days of polishing and hard work I still could not get it to look like a MINI .

Thought you guys might like to see the pics and it gives Hamish a peak as he hasnt seen it yet as its still parked up in my garage.

Awesome work Ian. Absolutely love s2000's Hamish

Are they tail happy? Been contemplating one when I get rid of the mini. Don't think I could drive a car that spins out at the back all the time though

Its beautiful. Now if my son had got his one to look like this he might not have sold it to someone from Edinburgh. I think these are lovely motors. Goes like stink. Unfortunately Darren sold his for a flaming nissan skyline. I mean imagine selling a beautiful classic car like this for a pimp/drug dealer/ned/ looking beast. Got 450 hp under the bonnet but he can't afford to run it. Took quarter tank of fuel to get from one side of Aberdeen to the other. Guess who's got a skyline for sale?

Very nice, loving the garage set up. God what I’d give for a double garage.

Did you have the car warmed up and PW lightly the engine bay then with with the G101 then a quick rinse?

Once again Ian your work is stunning

[Hamish]

WOW!!! Struggling to find the words to post on here... Ian, I am pretty much speechless... It looks better than a new car!!!

Thank you soooo much mate. The cars paintwork was getting very tired and faded, its a 2001 S2000, so for you to get it looking better than new is truly amazing. Been impressed with your reports and pics of previous work and thats why I asked you to do it.

The only thing that p155es me off is that I have to drive it home... its gonna get dirty!!! Although I am looking forward to driving it as shiny and sweet looking as it does!!!

Thanks again Ian, I will definitely get that shopping list off you and you can let me know some do's and dont's to keep it tidy... although not sure I could ever do a job as good as that! See you Friday!

p.s. ... CHUFFED TO BITS!!!
