Bordeaux: Revitalized

Over the past few months, Tom, Eric and I have been trying to put purpose to each of the cars we have here behind the shop. After acquiring a group of cars from a member, we tried to make a plan for each of the cars we received. This particular SVX was showing signs of wear and tear on the body and paint. We agreed that we wanted to breathe some new life into this 1994 Bordeaux LSi, and try our hand at some more body and paint work in-house.

Here are some photos. The car will be receiving a set of polished stock wheels and some brand new tires, and then it will be going up for sale after we finish up some other details. These should give you a rough idea.

From this:



To This:









More updates as we make more progress

Re: Bordeaux: Revitalized

Very nice work!....
When it goes up for sale is there any chance of a trade arrangement??

The guy I got mine from had the pearly and a claret, though I have a bit of a jinx with white cars, I convinced myself that it is pearl and therefore not classified as white and tried my luck... the claret had some severe sun damage covering the entire car.... it looked like a snake shedding its skin..... otherwise I would have had my preferred darker color...

So yeah, about that trade option.... Mine would give you some more body practice

Paint those center caps already!

That SVX looks very nice! I've always wanted a Bordeaux! (and a polo)

Re: Bordeaux: Revitalized

thanks guys, we really worked our asses off on it for a couple weeks. Eric did an excellent job of painting the car in shop (no booth) and doing our best to keep contaminants out of the paint.

Off topic sort of. What are the specs on the compressor you guys use. Tank size etc... or are you using a turbine system.
