Polished a turd

Well, back in May or June 08....






Now...





Shows the good and bad spots I guess.

Id really like to get the wheels cleaned up, as well as the lights. The tail lights are nasty. Ill deal with the rust. Its pretty much everywhere on the lower body.

Pretty much half of the car is ether947's old black tc, including almost the entire engine, the back bumper cover, some interior pieces, and probably a couple other things.

That looks like a great area to work on that. Is this like a top of a driveway or something? I'm jealous of the space and clean, smooth surface!

Also, I think you have a dead llama on your pavement...

HA yeah thats right.

Just drove down to my buddys in WV yesterday. 310 miles on the interstates averaged 32 mpg according to the tripminder, average speed was high 50's but I was usually between 60-70mph on the road. 2.3 FTW.
