The pics don't do it justice, it was wet sanded, buffed, and the Ronals were added in the 'after' picture. Plus, in the "before" pic, there is no motor or transmission in the car. Pressure washers are great for 7 years of dust, dirt, bird crap, and other things!

I have a before and after pic in my virtual garage.. although it doesn't visually appear to be much different, you can see by my mods list that it is indeed much different from stock.

These are the "before" pictures of our latest project. It's a 1990 G92 hardtop IROC-Z. I should have some "after" pictures to show you come Christmas time, or maybe before that.

We found a diamond in the ruff (spelling?)

Who woulda known a G92 '90 IROC would be sitting in the back of someone's yard about a mile from my house...just sitting there. Never getting driven, hardly even getting touched. We go to this guys house to check out some prices on a set of wheels (he parts out cars) and we end up buying a whole car from him.
