Shiny Claret (pic inside!)
 
I'm babysitting Mike621's Claret SVX 'till reading, and I've been working on making it look a bit nicer. Paint was the first step. I used scratch-x then zymol on the body. There are some areas that are going to need some white compound to get them back. Mainly on the lower cladding and the bumpers. Anyway, here is the current progress. :)

..So..um..what is it your driving now? Some kindof....automobile? Or is it a horse with really really bright lights?

Mike621 03-27-2006 06:08 PM

I have Mike's Ebony until Reading. Its so nice to drive an SVX without all the clanky clank that mine has right now. My car will be going to the dealer for an engine reseal, left rear bearing replacement, and an alignment after strut install.

Any interest in babysitting my girl until pollen season is over? It started last week here and is now where near full hilt but i'm going stir crazy not washing the subaru b/c she so dirty. I'll need Valium by the time spring ends (good thing i have a prescription for 30 of the big ones with 3 refills! I hate the dentist but he gives good drugs b/c i bite and whine)

It looks weird at that angle without a wing

Funny I was selling my Claret last year...untill I decided to keep it. I spent about $1500 to much when I bought it. But it did have full service records and 20K on a rebuilt trans.

Btw.. Great looking wax job.
