are first on my list of things to do to restore this bucket. As you can tell from the pictures though, my paint is in need of some help and Im not going to repaint it until my New Front end comes in. <U>Any ideas on how to restore the paint as much as possible?</U>

Dont mind the Intefooler intake, It comes out this weekend, or if Im feelin frisky, today.









oh, and I bought it for 1,000 so Im not complaining.

h-t has taught u well.

 

Dont worry about restoring the paint. I would suggest primer.

 

You could try wetsanding a little with a high grain sandpaper and moving your way up and finish off with a polishing compound, then waxing or glazing.

Be carefull when wetsanding if the clear is thin you can break through then your only option is to repaint it.

i was just gonna say that.

i say rock the front end on there! (EVERYONE AND THEIR MOMS HAVE A 98+)

instead of juuuust slamming it. slam it and get all the other suspension parts (es bushings, tie bars, strut bars, sway bars, etc.) because it will be WAY more fun! even with just an LS in there.

just my opinion. . 2 cents.

 

for the price.

 

Go post in a detail forum man.

I dont see close up pics, but looks like minor oxidation. Yes it can be saved, it wont be perfect though.
