My restoration and build of #1444/2000 - lots of pics and video!

Interior resto looks great! That's exactly how I clean carpet in my cars. Pressure washer ftw.

BTW, I actually just got a Fanatec setup a couple weeks ago. A bunch of my buddies are into iRacing and one of them wasn't using his setup much so I picked it up from him. It's not the Rennsport seat like yours, but the next version down, with the Porsche GT3 RS wheel. It's a blast to use. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Quoting GSX_TC:
Nope don't have it, heard there's one for the new gran turismo so Gonna see how that one is.



Oh cool! The new Gran Turismo sounds awesome, especially this feature: Gran Turismo 6's GPS Will Let You Drive Your Favorite Real-Life Routes

Thank you Mark! Congrats on the Fanatec pickup! I've heard nothing but great things about iRacing. Enjoy it!

Hi Everyone, update time!

Here's the latest video, where we focus on the outside of the car and work to get our shine back.

YouTube - Galant VR-4: Interior & Exterior Detail - Part 2

Thank you for watching! -Tom

This is funny.

 

[MellowVR4]

I need to do that to my exterior, mine is oxidies also, plus a bunch of hail dents compliments from the South /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

 

[the_underdog]

Thank you for checking it out everyone, I appreciate it!

MellowVR4 Good luck with your car clean up! I tell ya, the hail here is crazy. A couple years ago we had a massive hail storm that damaged tens of thousands of homes and new/used cars. The owners must've had my Galant in the garage at the time because every car sitting out in West Knoxville sustained severe hail damage.

wow the car is really coming leaps and bounds. i thought you picked a clean car to begin with, but seeing this, just wow. for the portion where you cleaned the muffler tips, i was truly surprised, i have used tinfoil and coca-cola to clean that kinda stuff off before, but you need to polish it after, i like the polish and clean in one step stuff you have.

welcome to the board Tom and i also love the videos, you do a great job with them! Also your video motivated me to finally rip out the carpet and give it a good cleaning as well which i have been putting off way to long. Now that my Evo is sold, the galant is finally gonna get some love and attention again.

Tom you have a great collection of cars from your Grand National, Mirage, Talon, ISF and now a Galant. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

I've always enjoyed your videos and the one you did with your Galant was truly motivational.

One day I hope to have a garage setup like yours.

Keep up the great work sir!
