Default This is my 92 Soarer

The day I brought it home (Iphone pics, sorry!)


After a wash, compound, wax and glaze (sorry again, bad lighting)


Before

After 10 minutes of simple green


As I stated in my previous thread, I purchased this car pretty cheap. At first, it looked pretty rough cause it was pretty filty, probably a few layers of dirt on the paint. The day after I got it home, I washed it real good, and two days after that I was still working on the paint. lol I used 3M fine cut polish, some japanese wax and 3M Glaze to finish it off. It came out pretty nice, although the pics don't do it justice, but it looks clean.

I recently picked up some kouki tail lights here locally, just waiting for them to arrive in the mail; went today to see if I can spot some decent rims at upgarage, but didn't really see anything worth while, but i'll keep looking. I'm also going to buy some tune up parts to keep the engine sound. It looks like the timing belt has already been changed prior to the 100K kilometers service, so that's something I'm not going to worry about any time soon. Other than that, i'll just try to keepp her looking decent till I have to leave or sell her.

I'll try to post some better pics tomorrow. Peace!

It's on the right side

Looks tidy with the clean. Did it have service books etc?

Didn't realise how many guys Stateside want the velour interior lol. Swaps for a clean black velour interior, anyone?
