5 long months of looking at all the grime and shit from winter on my car, hating the way it looks, washing it when the weather broke, only to have it go back to shit the next day. It's been nice all week, so I went out today and gave her a good wash, and even put tire shine on the tires (normally I don't, but I figured why not?) Finally got rid of the nasty fake chrome license plate frame on the rear, been meaning to do that since I bought the car.
She's certainly not looking her best right now, that's for sure. Paint needs a cut & polish, faded trim, borrowed weaves, wavy shrouds, paint missing from the front roundel, and all that chrome, still clinging to the car. But all that's going to change soon. The next pictures I post of this car are going to look quite a bit different. A friend who works as a detailer at the local MB dealership is going to do a full scale detail job on her for next to nothing, and I've got lots of cosmetic upgrades lying around this room, just waiting for me to get done. There's engine work to do, as well, but that's for another thread.
Anyway, snapped this shot just to give y'all a last look before all the work gets done. She's still a good looking car though, no doubt.
