I brought the car in to work today, everyone said it looked beautiful, three people didn't believe it was the same car, and a sales customer wanted to buy it.

QUOTE (Johnnyny @ Jul 21, 2010 - 7:36 PM) how much did they offer It didn't even get that far. Not for sale. The end. Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. We've had the car for almost a year (in sept) and we have all put a lot of time and work into it since then. I'm so happy its finally all paid off and the car looks unbelievable. I'm so used to seeing our little pos instead of this completely different car so it really does amaze me every time I see it now. Oh and Manny, everyone's been asking me all day and I've been telling them it was painted at Maaco by my greenhorn friend, makes for a good reaction

No wonder it turned out so nice...  I totally wish I were on that side of the continent... Manny you and _Jim_ would get a lot of business from me. ... my wife would probably leave me, and all my cash would be direct deposit into your accounts, but at least my car would finally be done.
