Yes this is a 'work in progress'. I know the car is dirty, I came by and they were wet sanding the car already and then gonna hit it up with some rubbing compound. Yes the seats are dirty along with the interior will be worked on Wednes day. I'll post pics when its all done this weekend .

At a WAG, I would say it is a shot of the hood.

he is right, its the hood after a little sanding and I put some rubbing compound on it by hand, and tried to get it to see the shine, it really looked a lot better in person.

No need to pull the motor or interior. The original color was black on the car to begin with I wanted to paint the engine bay again but would have taken too much time for re-assembly. I had him repaint the door jams, under the hood, jams near the hatch, fender jams. Every nook and cranny including underneath the door panels. Carpet wasn't pulled for it.

Im actually about to head back over their with my cousin so he can check it out and take the camera again to see if they have already started on the rubbing compound.

Thank you for all the compliments.

Perfect. Thats what I needed to know. I will be going with a slightly different color and wanted to know about all the hidden areas like the door sills and such.

Sorry about the files metalli, I had shrunk the file size considerably but I understand the rules, i'll host them somewhere else next time.

Shifty: As far as the nooks and crannies that is really all I can think of for right now, make sure they pull off your side mirrors so they can get underneath those as well.
