- This car came of of the blue, and collecting the same day was a surprise. It's a bit rough to look at but I see bags of potential.

Toilet roll flash back took me back to covid times lol
🤣🤣
Great find! A perfect project really - a good base to start with but plenty of room for improvement and being pre project drive well worth the effort. My late Dad's name, Ralph, so happy with that. Looking forward to viewing the progress 😊
Exactly how I feel about it. I would really love to make this properly lovely again 😊
Looking forward to this one 👍, Arise Sir Ralf Sky Wedgewood 🎉
Me too. 🙂
Very honest looking car and more than deserving of a new life. Previous owner deserves a mention for at least caring about what happens instead of tossing it aside like most owners. Welcome to the hospital of project Nigel let the rebirth begin.
Yes he was very insistent that I bought it 🙂
Good video,will make a nice car and also this video as got a point to it
Thank you
Ralf's got proper carpets! That will shave many hours off vacuuming time. Took me one and a half days to just fully vacuum a 2017 Vauxhall Zafira earlier this week. I hope I never see that car again.
Yeah this is why I like the old ones. Those newer carpets are shocking
Another Rover saved 👍
Indeed
"Project Blue Blemish" 🔵🚙💙! It'll take some time, but you'll sort it 🇬🇧👍.
Thank you 🙂
A very warm welcome to Ralf. Lovely story behind the name, with some very interesting links.
Yeah it was a bit long-winded but I thought it was fun to tell it.
You could say it's green motoring, no need for batteries under the floor. Another lovely video Paul.😂
Thank you 😊
That's a lovely colour actually, I think it will come up very well. Welcome, Ralf.
Yes it will come nicely 😊
Ooo another 45 hatch nice look forward to seeing your progress paul 👍
Thank you. Me too 😊
Lovely 45 there Paul. Being a pre-Project Drive model, it's well worth sorting properly. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Regards, D.
Thank you, I need to hunting for a bumper now
@@ProjectNigel I'm sure you will manage that, Paul. Best of luck with it.
It will be a nice car mustard when it’s done and another good video 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏🍺
Thank you 😊😊
Ralf has a great base to make it so much better. Good to see you saving another
I like Wedgewood Blue, my favourite Colour. Ralph Sky is a nice addition. With a lick of paint and a new headliner Ralph Sky will be practically perfect in every way.
That's why Ralf didn't look right! 🤣
@@ProjectNigel Shows you how much I pay attention! 😮😮
Doesn't it! 😁
Am sure you will turn it into a decent looking car. Nice long MOT i know for a fact that the polishing on and getting rid of green mold you will manage no problem 😊
Thank you. I will probably crack on with this on Tuesday and have some to show within a week 😊
It's not actually mould. It's petals and seeds that have blown around off all the nearby cherry trees, they get into everything and are an absolute nightmare to clean out. The car was cleaned not so long ago but with all that detritus you wouldn't believe it. The inside on the other hand well ... dogs, enough said. Neil just got fed up and gave up. Have just bought a Ford Focus Estate with a lovely big back end to stuff the dogs in, so no more dogs on seats for the foreseeable future 😁
@@Grannysaff I know that one well I have the same problem up here with leaves and tree pollen. When I said mold I didn't mean to say it hasn't been cleaned. 😀🤗
Ralf Sky sounds like a Pornstar 🤣
I would have called it Dr David Banner with all the green stuff on it
You're not wrong there! 🤣
How will you repair that chrome on the bumper that is missing? Replace the part, or use some magical chrome repair thing that I don't know about?
Ideally with a replacement part that's not scraped, but I think I may have sold that also
👍
😊
Heard the 6 o'clock whistle at the end of the video. Did you go for a dance with the rest of the workers in town?
Only old people like me will understand 😂
I was too busy eating a kebab
@Project Nigel Had to laugh at Toby's Lucky Charm. One of the dogs that were carried around in the car formerly known as Skyy is called Toby.
I didn't even spot that 😄
@@ProjectNigel How could you possibly forget the bark monster haha
😁
r.t.f remover and an old paint brush for the crevices,green stuff gone forever,
A makeshift dog fence for a makeshift dog?
No the dog didn't come as part of the sale 😅
@@ProjectNigel lol. But will it keep cabbage dog in there?
BD....bo derek
Don't you have the bumper from project snotter?
Snotter was a Streetwise 😄
@@ProjectNigel what was the dark grey 45 called?? Went to Wales for a TV project then came back?? Can't remember the name
@@joncrook8829Project Waster?
2 Pints was set in Runcorn not Warrington, but hey ho....
If it's from Stockport and called Sky the old owner was probably a Man City fan...
How are Rochdale doing these days ?
Yes you're correct. If that's football talk I have no idea 😄
