Default Finally my project is then....here's my reveal!

I purchased this car about 9 months agoand it's been a slow process in the works trying to gather pieces together. Finally I've come to being almost complete with my project and making it my DD.

This is when I first bought it(rough sanding job the past owner did and car wasnt running so I offered him an amount real low and got it in my hands!!)


Nasty Interior




....And this is my Final Product! Still have minor things to do but so far so good







Clean armest is on its way soon!


Forgot to mention....everybody asked me what car I got and I tell them "A Lexus" so I named my baby Alexus. haha

The color is PPG Dark Cherry Effect, I got the idea since I've always liked the 95,96 impala's but the Dark Cherry paint doesnt have much shine to it and I also liked the fact it had a black look at night

I'm taking the car back on Saturday cause I was taking the car from him and didnt let him wet sand and buff the car since I've been stuck without a car for about 3 weeks.

It's a complete transformation, but what still needs to be done?

Interior is done but it has alot of dust from the body shop cause they painted inside also but still need lil bits and pieces like cup holder, gated shift, etc which I havent put on yet since I just got the car back just yesterday. Pics will be up soon.
