Default Just when you though you couldnt bring it back..

This car belongs to a fellow TR member(Tim Tim Tim). We had spoken about 4 or 5 months ago when he just picked up the car and it was in bad shape from the start, and I mean BAD. Haha! Tim gave me a call last week and told me he wanted me to work my magic on the car before he moved to Ohio, so we scheduled the car. We were unable to get a 100% correction due to time and budget, if it was even possible to bring this thing back to 100%. It looked like it had sat underneath a hard water sprinkler all its life, no joke! While we couldnt get it perfect, Id say the results were outstanding for what we did do to it! Ill let you guys be the judge! Enjoy!
