perfectionist

[flyingbanana]

so are you a perfectionist when you do work to your osf?

 

i try to be but sometimes don't all ways work the way i want it

[orionmojo]

my answer is no. i try so hard to be, but i dont have the skills, so i largely leave it alone, and then get depressed when i cant make it look nice!

 

if i could paint the thing theres no doubt it'd have been in pieces long before now. just to save myself though, i dont bodge things, not by any stretch of the imagination, but if i touch something it has to be perfect before i'm happy, hence the leaving it alone!

I'm a mechanical man more than a bodywork man, all the plates on my car are black hammerite, including one wheel arch. If it looks alright then it'll do, if it looks alright and makes the car perform better, then bonus!

[johnny_h]

I'm too impatient.

[Nettles]

I’m the worst type of perfectionist……………………a skint one!

[S2 Dee]

I try to be but often talent runs out before perfection is achieved.

[antz]

its never perfect! i want it to be though!

[escort21]

I run my osf every day so perfection is difficult as it takes time and monday is always to close

[slimrs]

as everyone else says i think, just havent got the skills to get it perfect but have to have a go

[J_mk1]

all i can say is i certainly work to my own level of standards and thats all i know

[OllieC]

if its running im happy

[Twinkle]

considering theresa's mk2 was supposed to be a quick tidy the engine bay and its taken me 3 months to get it so im happy i would say im a perfectionist, especially as i keep picking fault with it

[PAUL MANN]

the trouble is perfection can come at a price

[huxmk1estate]

i am, thats why my mk1 isnt fooking done yet!!!!

 

but it will be ace when its finished

[petrolhead01]

im definatly a perfectionist and when i get the car perfect i will be happy untill then im not happy!!!!

[louie bagel]

i consider myself a perfectionist and i'll never be happy with my tawny mk1 untill its spot on, but like most of us its a case of money and skill but we will get there in the end

[RFChris]

paint keeps the weather off! Nuff said!

[Rich Sav]

yea i kinda am can u tell by my car lol

[Jarrodm]

I'm deffinatly not a perfectionist, but I WILL NOT bodge anything, If a job needs doing it is done once, and it is done right !

 

I don't think theres a single car out there thats perfect. Becouse a perfect car would be such a contradiction of peoples opinions and ideas that it would amount to looking shite !!!!

 

So no i'm not a perfectionist........50 50 vote is interesting though.

I want everything to be perfect but it never is.

[MK II Mark]

Perfection is a case of how much you wanna spend.

 

I would never have enough money.

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

no

 

i get it to the best im capable of

 

always like it to look its best

 

body works my downside

 

oh and oil leaks how do you keep the engine bay so clean and dry theres always a oil leak somewhere usually rocker gasket even with a new one fitted

[Rick]

i started off as one but im getting a bit impatient now cuz i dont wana be restoring this car forever.

 

lets face it you can go crazy with trying to get every tiny spec right.

 

i voted yes on the poll though as i couldnt live with anything poorly done,

 

as long as it falls between 90-100% perfect im happy

[andrewg1323]

i do my best but i usually find i lack the correct tools most of the time so out comes the hammer...

[MightySprocket]

I am, but time is running out
