1000k more miles than my car and it looks like its brand new :eek:

Puts my paint to shame :(

Your car is now my inspiration of what i want mine to look like :DIt's never seen snow or ice, and hasn't really been to the beach. Since I've taken early retirement, it doesn't get driven to work every day now either. Hopefully, it won't accumulate miles as fast now.

All she did today was go to the end of the driveway and get her picture taken.

I guess it has an easy life then.


Any chance do you have a problem with dust covering your car after a week? :o

One other thing...

I hate to tell everyone, but mine hasn't been washed in a couple of weeks. I did dust it off, since it's been in the garage for most of the week. It's all make-up and trick photography. . . lol.

She enjoys the compliments though. . . . thanks.

Two big thumbs up John!

I am going to bring my car down so you can shoot it! Oh wait, mine has seen four winters, over a thousand track miles and gets driven in the rain. You might have to use the soft focus on it:bigcry:


Keep shooting!

Keep shooting!Thanks Jeremy. I appreciate that buddy. With this 85L, the only part of the car that has to look good is only what you focus on. The rest of the car magically gets a makeover.:banana:

I have one coil cut from the front springs. The rear was adjusted to match that.

Thanks for your comments.

Hey oldekid these were taken with my camera on auto, your pictures make we want to start playing with depth of field. I'm sure that these would have looked much better, although not as good as yours I bet :)

If I don't say so myself, the paint looks good for a 10 year old car. Yes it is the original FORD factory paint job, except for the spoiler, and rear bumper cover ;)

"I see a red CAR and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black....
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!"
