finally got it washed

i still need to get it detailed (eventually) and fix all the knicks and cuts around the car but after a nice wash and air dry its still looks good for its condition. it daily driven 50 miles going back forth to work, on pothole strewn roads and crap traffic, plus its not garage kept, and this is chicago weather.










yes i know wheels needs to be changed or powdercoat, need to save around 500 for that. but the exterior paint is whats killing right now, that takes priority. enjoy
