    Rasky, you left me hanging on my question about how you fixed the exterior window trim!

    Can I ask what process you used for the oxidation on the window trim? They look fantastic!

    PS- Just a tip, Westley's makes some rubberized under body spray for about $6~ a can that is easy to use, and would have been great for a wheel well like that. You should be able to get it at just about any local car parts store.

    Two questions:

    What did the parents say?

    Did your GF show you her appreciation?
    They were speachless and very appreciative.

    My girl had taken me on a vacation in July so I sort of owed her.

    That does not look like the same vehicle. That is a amazing transformation. That is incredible.

    As usual a outstanding job. Way to go.

    After











    Seat racks were cleaned








    Lether turned out good. We were going to have the front seats dyed but the guys wanted $200+ so we left them as is.

























    Speaker grills turned out really well







    Engine









    Exterior



    Chips were brush touched but the owner picked it up just as I finished so no pics of that.















    Black trim turned out nice







    A little paint work on the hitch



    Tire/wheel



    The MN winters combined with the dirt road have taken their toll on the wheel wells. The under coating was weathered and cracked. I figured it was only going to get dirty again real soon so I left them like this.



    Side by side plastic polishing



    After



    Jambs were cleaned and weather stripping dressed









    Thanks for looking!
    Rasky
