    Good

    We have already made many details before and after this car, but this was a challenge that was before us for months , just looking at us.

    The state was unfortunate since the XJ8 of 1998 was 3 years full of limestone stopped close to our facilities in Alfragide, is a work to go on doing our availability.

    ALém the limestone was full of holograms and many risks in painting, a disgrace.

    This is the point after being washed and clayed (minus the windows) :(

    We started with the process of sanding and the various stages.

    The bonnet was enormous and the damage was very difficult to correct and time consuming.

    And then, only the deeper scratches remained, makita went 2500 rpms: D

    2nd. That green is really nice.

    Amazing work. How many man hours did you put on that one?

    I wouldn't have even known what to do with a car like that.

    I love these big turnarounds. I have a classic Mercedes lined up hopefully and it's been sitting outside for more than 10 years in a barn. I WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON IT!!!
