Default Polishing a turd is futile....

.....but I gave it a try anyway.

<U>Added a few new pics on page 3</U>

It's definately not a "show car" (nor will it ever be) but she cleans up OK. Nice "10 footer" if you know what I mean. Anyway, we've been having some kickass weather here in New England lately and the car is up and running for the frist time in 5 months +/-. So that being said I drove a bit and snapped a few. No nice "scenic" areas b/c the car is what I like looking at Anyway.....

Put my rear seats back in after a quick cleaning:


Got carpet? I don't:


Cleaned up the rimzz a bit:


The booty:


Not too shabby, played around with a buffer a little but it needs more work.


Ground level shot, just a tad dark though :


The hood emblem says it all :


From about 10' away


Thanks for looking
