Peter... you once posted a thread on whoring out the 12 and 15 year olds... now they're 15 and 18 respectively... what do you say? :twisted:

Just got back from my 4th weekend. Met up with a guy for these headlights. They were a takeoffs from a dealer, as they have a little heat damage from the bulbs, but they are still 100x better than the originals. I got them for $50 each, and I'll polish up the original ones and sell them for the same.

Gut the interior and do the standard cleaning, and buff the paint. The black has a ton of fine scratches.

A buff will definitely take your flips to the next level. When did you pick up detailing equipment?

Perfect. Weird as it may sound, every project you had, I was wishing I could detail it. Your interiors and mechanicals are so nice they deserve to be complimented with an eye-catching finish.

Like I said, I think you will be very happy with that purchase! Your first time using it will amaze you with what you can accomplish, and even more when you really get used to it :beerchug:

Don't sound weird to me at all, I was thinking the same thing! With his ways with everything else on these cars so far, I have no doubt that it won't be long and we will be asking him questions :lol:



JUST NOTICED SOMETHING..........
The order says that you ordered two yellow pads as well. I know you sent me that screenshot a few days ago and it was a mistake about the yellow pads, I just want to make sure that you did order three white pads or two white and one gray pads.

Just got the paintless dent removal done, it turned out great. The dents are 99% gone, he did a great job. $75 total.

I pulled the door panel, glass and window trim to give him better access. Here he is working on it.

Cool. I'm going to say this will be your nicest flip yet. No others have been buffed or recieved new headlights. I think you also said the interior was remarkably clean in comparison with previous cars.

That is cheap for the dent repair,looks great,I am going to be getting into a 2000 + SSEI some day soon,maybe I will buy one from you?
I am loving my 93 SSEI,but since I refuse to drive it in the winter around here(Florida car,no rust at all) I am stuck driving my old 92 SE,and she is packing 250,000 miles and the motor is loosing oil pressure.
I will be watching this one to the end,and awaiting your next flip,very informative threads
for learning about these cars,thanks for all your efforts to let us sit in on your work,Tim
