I guess no pics today. I washed her and tried to make her look good but all that happened is stuff got smeared around and looked terrible. I tried two different kinds of wax, and Mequiars Ultimate Detailer. Idk why, but this car's paint does not seem to want to cooperate with my efforts to make it photo worthy. Its quite frustrating to sweat my ass off for two hours in the heat trying to make her look good just to have it turn out looking worse then before.

Ok, here's the pics. Keep in mind, this is as I bought it and I haven't even had a chance to properly detail it yet. The only thing I've done so far is new front brakes and replaced the valve cover gasket.

Things it still needs as far as repairs/maintenance: a few interior pieces, new belts (squeel when cold), new tires (two have air leaks, one has a broken belt), ABS repairs

From your description I expected it to be in rougher shape. Not bad!

Just a little TLC and she'll be nice and fresh.
