Yes, Its been over 6 months and its not perfect, really needs a day of wet sanding, polishing but it does look better than it did with the clearcoat peeling. The car needed some love which is why I only paid 5k but I need to tally up the funds I have spent and make sure I am not upside down on the car. She no garage queen with 125k miles but everything works except the seat heaters. Its time to stop spending and start enjoying which is what I plan on doing. I dont think I will head out to the west coast but running the roads around here its a cool car.

For the Gentleman asking about the refurbing of the side stakes, etc I do most of the little things like that myself. I am down to putting the chrome tape on the side stakes after I installed the chrome door handle overlays on today. Its hard to beat chrome and black and I had picked up the AMG rims a few months back so I put some tires on them, bought the chrome grill for 45 bucks off flea bay and rolling with that look for the summer. I have new tires on the stock rims put up with the other stuff I took off so it can go back to stock in no time at all. Thanks for the kind words, I could of never pulled it off without the members of this forum, Next I am loading up and will be headed to the lake to get that houseboat whipped into shape! Remember what they say . ..
Chrome will get you home!
