Not got to drive the old girl a lot this summer, always had her in the shop for this or that and rain, my god all it has been doing this year is rain rain rain.
I Absolutely refuse to drive in the winter or rain, tho I get caught on occasion in the wet stuff.

Of late she has yet another new oil filter housing gasket, new lower water hose as the oil was doing it in, new tires all the way around, all wheel alignment, detailed inside and engine bay, not had time to do the wheel wells like I tend to do. Unlike most people during this stay at home period, I have had to work. (Drink cups are essential)
Anyway, just finished up giving her a coat of wax after polish early this morning and now that I had time thought I would upload a couple pics.

I'm calling her at 98% restored after two previous owners. Last niggles left is the seats, drivers side bolster is in rough shape and the center console is all dinged up. (Brushed aluminum)
Pics in 7 AM sunlight.....

Looking good - and a very clean look with out the front plate. Time well spent I'd say.

Wheels a little understated! (I'm in the UK remember - bet a quick poll would show most of us here are too self conscious to fit a set of those). What have you done to the calipers - must be able to see a lot of them through the spokes and they are not intrinsically pretty.
 
Super clean looking car, not too keen on the wheels too much of a bling look for me but if your happy with the look thats all that matters.
 
Dude. Love the wheels but why not paint the disc hubs in VHT black. I usually rub down, rust prevent it and then spray. Looks so much cleaner.

My real question though is - how did you get the smoke effect on the rear lights?
