My Car

Those of you who know my car know the spray paint mollestation that happened to it. My brother showed me how to remove spraypaint while leaving the underlying paint unharmed. The only problem was the previous owner sanded down the stuff so the spraypaint would stick, and in a few spots he sanded through the clearcoat. But I was wable to buff it out so you can only tell if you are right up on it for the most part. Notice, no crappy lowering suspension, the correct wheels (yea), no spraypaint on trunk, taillights are back to normal. I just have to fix the hood next:

The hood is an absolute wreck, when I started to remove the spraypaint I found just horrible things. So I'm going by to pick up a VIS CF hood after work. That should be the last major item of restoration on this car. The rest is small items (that still need to be done) but don't cost an arm and a leg.

I just washed it after getting the hood...I'm soaked in sweat right now. I'll take a shower then go take some nightime pics of the car in its new "no spraypaint" guise.

And thanks for the hood John972!

Dammit! You were in Irving tonight? I could have met up with you and John972 to give you your canopy. Oh well. Modding day it is.
