Okay I'll let you look now

Well before it started to get dark I managed to flat the paintwork on the door down with wet 1500 grit paper and after using some rubbing compound, polish and wax the result was... alright I suppose. Not as good as the bonnet in terms of blend but still very pleased and I know the bottom edge of the door wont be rusting out now any time soon and has saved me a potential door skinning job in the future. I also appear to have captured myself in reflection through the orange peel.

Managed to pop in to Canley Classics on my travels (its only 25 minutes from home) as someone had written down in my original service document an ignition key FS number and on the Canley website it claimed they had the key in stock. I only have one ignition key and it would have been nice to get a spare but the FS style key they had was a lot shorter than my ignition key so I'm not sure whats going on there. I'll have to get a key cut instead and just hope it fits.

The engine has been suffering from a bit of overrun on ignition switch off. I put some super unleaded 97 ron octane fuel in yesterday and after a blast up the road and getting the car up to temperature when I turned off there was no overrun. I hope the increase in octane has solved the problem but we'll soon find out.
