rusheR Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Some of you might know that my C70 caught a minor fire, I managed to stop a fire before it spread too far, but it still was totaled by Insurance.. Since then i finally had some time and money to spend on other project- my truck. This time i spent couple days working on it with a help of my friend. We wrapped front bumper and grill frame in satin black vinyl to match my powdercoated fairings. Center of a grill was plastidipped and i left slash chrome. All truck was cleaned up, all of the stickers removed and we buffed it as much as we could reach , which wasn't much .Next time i'll come prepared. Also i replaced my cracked PIAA 5161s for a new ones and Installed new OEM Volvo foglights with a triple layer yellow Xpell film hoping they can survive a season. I just loved that clean look ,so I took couple pics before I put all the stickers back. I went overboard with editing as I just downloaded Lightroom and playing with all those settings and tools is cool and hard to stopat reasonable level. And an old pic to show what it looked like 3 years ago Back to my coupe. I'll be parting it out in a next week or so . Just a heads up. BBK and Ohlins are spoken for, everything else is gotta go. I'll make a FS thread in due time. Car located in Portland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
