Arrow Pictures of my car -its ready - but its already dirty

Hello All,

The pictures are not the best as our roads are still very dusty from the winter months and I can't believe what 1 and 1/2 days of driving does to a black car even though its sunny. Plus I still have yet to give the car a full detailing. The pictures were taken with my IPHONE so not the best of quality either.

Unfortunately I will not make it to Reading which I genuinely wanted to try and make it to.

So heres the scoop/history:
97 Ebony 48K original miles one owner before me
Excellent condition throughout
All stock and original with full service history, original bill of sale and window sticker

So, bought car used for a few months and the dam snow removal crew decides it looked too god so they needed to bump the rear and push my front under the SUV parked in front of me.

The Damage:
New Hood
Left and right hood hinge to be safe
New Striker plate
New stickers
Paint the new hood and hinges plus repaint the original rear bumper.

The car is finally back in my hands.















Anyway I am very disappointed with the pictures, the car looks so dirty already. Look at all the dust on the top of the rear bumper. 1 1/2 days in lovely Montreal roads that are dry.

At least you can see how shiny the car can be by the reflection on the body.

When the wether gets nicer I will detail it and post more.

And, yes my wife is an excellent cook. She caters.

Regards,

Max

WOW. That thing literally has no ding/dents. You can even see how good the paint is overall because you can see the red flakes in it. Very nice.

Hi,

Thanks for the compliment. I'll remind you, the only repainted parts was the hood and rear bumper and hinges holding the hood. The rest of the paint is still factory original.

Regards

Looks like you have a good sized tire for snow. Are they? If so what size are they?
The city ended up paying me nothing, they said call your insurance company. As is did not want to have a claim on my record since its claim free after 21 years of driving I decided not to claim it.

The tires are snows and they are the stock 1997 size. I know its 215 vs the pre 97 225 but I do not recall the profile hight. What ever stock is.

Regards

Truly a very nice vehicle. Its probably better that you didn't report it, collector value wise.
(yes I believe in the mythical collector value, someday we will have our moment.... 80 years from now, but still)
