What did you do to your 2002 today !

Chamonix ‘73

 

Finally presses out the rocker shafts. I hope to pull the valves and wash/inspect everything next week before sending the head in a skim and whatever else may be needed. It’ll get a 292 when it comes back to the shop. I’m looking forward to getting this bolted back on the engine soon.

The wheels of restoration turn slowly for me I will be posting the 71 1600 I’m getting started on in the mean time I luv 13” period correct rims for our cars and it’s taken a long time to find these center caps and stickers for momo’s, 100+, and cool bmw skull for 320 steelys.

Looking good @pocho.

Replaced the all the rear bulbs with LEDs. I have no idea what took me so long. 

 

Up next is the headlight kit that I purchased from Daniel.  I just have to carve out some time in my schedule to get it done.

Picked up a fresh set of 195/50/15s yesterday. Going to get mounted on some vintage Hartge's (the ones that actually were for sale here a couple years ago!!) and do a wheel swap later this week.

Got nearly all the dents addressed on Friday. Car is looking better already!

Hi everyone!
I’ve watched countless videos on paint correction and detailing and read lots of articles before I decided to give it a try for myself.  I was pretty nervous about working on 45 year old paint, but after a little while I became comfortable using a polishing machine for the first time.

Here are the steps I used:

1. Washed the car

2. Clay Bar (Mother’s)

3. Soaking Paint with Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze (for 24 hours)

4. Compound (Meguiars Ultimate)

5. Polish (Meguiars Ultimate)

6. Soaking Paint AGAIN with Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze (for 24 hours)

7. Wax (Meguiars Carnauba)
 

I’m real happy with the results, not only does the paint shine, but it has depth.

Finished the last part of my machine polishing and waxing. Think it looks pretty good now!

Looks fab! I used Meguiars too, great results. That's quite a turnaround from your first picture

Good job! And Meguiar's is good stuff!

Went apple picking. I think Gertrude could have fit in the bed of the truck we parked next to.

Was surprised by my daughter who showed up for our morning C&C this weekend.  Even better when she asked if we could take Stella for an evening drive sometime this week.
