Primer is it still around?

you mean the unfinished rusty look?

This may as well be primer!

one fairly large difference, its not primer so it is water proof, primer is porous, so will not protect the steel.

Epoxy primer aint pourus and is waterproof isnt it?

used to be known as the south east london look. Mk1 and 2 escorts with primered arches was the norm when i was a lad.

In north east london they bothered to prime the whole car

Seemed everyone had hot mk1/2 escorts in primer with a rubber boot spoiler.

When I was rescuing/recommissioning this, I actually went out and bought some cheap nasty brush-on red oxide to make the repairs look more 'authentic'









This was it when I first got it, had been sat in a garden for around ten years

astra harlequin.

theres a bit of a story behind this, basically my 1st astra had a bodyshop restoration, sills wings wheelarches respray. then 3 weeks later a bloke T boned passenger side while he was doing a shortcut through parking spaces in asda to the exit road. kick in the balls, i slapped on a second hand door, front bumper, new pattern wing, drove it to "trax" at silverstone.
