Getting the E-type ready for the shoot

I spent many hours cleaning the Jaguar - especially the mud off the underneath, the inside, the chrome and detailing everything as I went. Still a bit scruffy inside.

The car looked great after I had finished - I even touched up a few stone chips. Noticed I seem to have scratched the bonnet around a chip a bit - but there you go.

I also took off the rear badge - a job I'd thought about doing before. It came off easily as it was only stuck on with glue - no fittings on the pins.

Cleaned underneath (you can see the 'shaddow' of the Jaguar on the paintwork) cut and polished it - looks 100% better now. I even made up some fittings for the pins and stuck it back on from behind only.

Late afternoon run in the Aston to the shops - then cleaned the windows so it did not jealous. I don't want them falling out overnight.
