Nice to see the old version cars but they are in a very good condition but needs to be updated,actually i am also interested in classic cars because these are very powerful machine so if you want to update its interior as you mentioned in the thread so take it to an experienced work shop for the better result of it.

[Z33_Taxi]

No real updates.

-changed plugs,wires,cap and rotor

Found 2-3 guys looking into my car with flashlights at 2AM. I had a flashlight of my own,but mine was attached to a benelli nova

[MattHatCat]

as an Aussie i had to Google what an benelli nova was...

no good about the dudes, but with bad assery like that i dont think they would be back...



fitted the bloody spacers yet?

WHAT THERE'S PAINT UNDER THIS OXIDATION????

Haha me and my friend put about 10 hours of getting rid of oxidation on his 89 240 Wagon. Made a HUGE difference. Oh, Love the color too!

[fortbrick]

Damn. Good job with that so far. Happy to see it wasn't already thinned out.

[Z33_Taxi]

Thanks,yeah paint was really nice underneath.

I really need to set aside 5-6hrs and do the whole thing...I also need to buy a buffer

[Z33_Taxi]

Finally had a day off to go over the whole car. No buffer. All by hand



Process:
Wash
Clay bar
wash
Meguairs #7 http://www.meguiars.com/en/professio...ar-glaze-16oz/
2 coats of Meguiars Ultimate wax http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...te-wax-liquid/

I think next time I'm going to try and use a paint cleaner to remove some of the stubborn water spots and a sealant after the wax. I've always had an interest in detailing,but only know the basics. I'd say it looks 100% better than it did,but it can always be better







Just purchased off flea-bay. $8 shipped

[MattHatCat]

looks great mate i too have always had an interest in basics of detailing
i think it looks 100% better than the old paint.
props for doing it by hand too !!
