spit and polish

Post by wally » Wed 10 Sep 2008, 20:59

spent the best part of last Saturday washing, cleaning and buffing the Ranchero.

the Meguiars polish worked wonders to bring out some shine from the dull red paint.
now, don't be fooled by the shine! :lol: the body is pretty much f*cked... :roll:
