Transformer Part1

[PaulVW]

So, I bought this 1996 C-Class Merc as a project car this week. The car has been seriously neglected and is in need of some serious TLC

The paintwork and interior had its fair share of abuse from Cape Town's weather.

My plan is to restore the car to its original condition and to then use it as a "courtesy car" if customers need to leave their cars with me for a while to detail.

Anyway, this Saturday I decided to do a quick test on the fender and boot lid to see if the transformation that I visualised when I bought the car will be possible.

I used some Menz PowerGloss with the Shinex and FF with the G220 and I was amazed by the results...

This was just a quick test, and I will need to spend a bit of time on each panel, but I am sure it will be a nice transformation project. As work progress, I will do a full thread on this project, but it will definitely take a while...
