Default Member "Adam82" Formula Detailed

Some of you may recognize this car. It used to belong to 1FAST02FORMULAHAWK and was for sale here in the classifieds for a while. Well, Adam (the new owner) bought it and one of the first things he has done with the car was to bring it to me for a complete appearance overhaul.

Adam and I had been communicating for a good two weeks about getting his Formula redone. We settled on today as the date. He arrived at my house shortly after nine and left the car and keys in my hands. Adam said the car needed some help and boy did it. This car was FILTHY and the paint was in horrible condition. Needless to say, I got right to it and didn't stop until it met my standards eight hours later.

Before

This was the condition the car was delivered to me in.




After a wash and a clay.



Passenger side Fender




Hood




Spoiler




Rear Bumper




Passenger side Door

Thank you so much Adam for letting me work on your Formula. It MOST DEFINITELY brought back some very fond memories. I hope to see the car around here more often!

Holy crap man, that's amazing. Looks freakin new. Ditto on price question. My car's not in that bad of shape, but could use about 4 hours of intense polishing.
