Default 1 yr ago today, i received my 944, pics to commemorate!
For those of you that remember my first intro thread, I received my 944 roughly a year ago. IT was a sorry sight, faded paint, STICKERS, moldy and disgusting interior.. well funny that today is the first day I've ever drove it to work, 24mi from my house, which is also its longest trip since I'ved owned it.

Heres a before and after with pics I shot this morning after a fresh wash.



And here she is today...











Let me know what you guys think, good or bad.

Looks great.. But from that last photo I would say watch your sunroof, it looks a little out of alignment, one side is higher then the other. Perhaps it just the photo though..

great job, how did you get the paint to look that glossy? also do you want to get rid of those old wheels?

The transformation is incredible BUT.............

"24mi from my house, which is also its longest trip since I'ved owned it."

Shame on you for owning such a wonderful vehicle and not enjoying it.

Frank's been busy painting it with some amazing results!

Daaayummm! Looks beautiful, like it just rolled off a showroom floor!

Are you using spacers for the wheels?

I wish I could do something like that, but I don't have the patience (or skills ) yet - been enjoying mine as a dd for the past couple of months. Oh, and I need to build another garage for space.

Wow! also you should adjust your wiper blades to sit lower on the window. unless you shut the car down with them in the same position in each photo.
