Re: 02 T/A Conv Pics
thanks all, glad to hear the good comments. It was repainted because when I bought it the car was all keyed up ... every pannel ... that last pic was after 2-1/2 bottles of touchup (to fill in all of the scratches). It looked good from a distance ... but good from a distance wasn't what I wanted! She's as smooth as a baby's bottom now, almost kills me everytime I touch it with a polishing cloth I leave small swirl marks, so until I can wax it Im sticking to just power washing it, then I'll get all the little swirl marks out I have in it, wax it, then wax it again.
Actually its not called a roll bar ... its actually called a light bar ... because it doesn't mount to the frame, they help in a rollover, but not as much as a roll bar.
The car was vandalized before I bought it, so far i've had a new top put on it, new windshield, new side windows, new dash, had all of the seats repaired, put on the aftermarket rims & fuzzion tires (only 2 T/A rims were good), water pump, new tail lights ... and probably a few things I forgot.
Trans has a couple of syncro's out (its a 6 speed), then the upgrades start, exhaust, shocks, control arm bushings, ect.
No I did none of the paint work, I wanted a good job, so I let the experts do the paint work, best $4,500 I've ever spent!

Yeah, I feel ya there man. Some crazy b*tch keyed up my car. I've put some touch up paint on it for now, and you can't notice it at all from a distance. But still, once you walk up to it it's like a kick to the balls. It just hurts to see that. But she looks beautiful man. Keep up the great work on her.

Re: 02 T/A Conv Pics
Yes very nice/ very expensive but as you said worth it.
LOL thats more than I bought my car for!!!!!!!!!!
If you want that paint to last use some expensive waxes and detailers, and keep a schedule so you never miss a wax.
I am particularly fond of Maguires NXT products, detailers and waxes, its a little more expensive but trust me....worth every penny.
