Big props to Mark...he went way beyond what anyone would expect him to do. Lots of new hoses, belts ect were put on Leon. I love the way this group comes together to help others. Lisa should get lots of years of enjoyment out of Leon.

 

Repeat, not sure why it did that

 

Brendan we did get a few parts off that car of yours so thank you.

 

Nice job to all involved!! What a great community this is.

 

All I did was wisk in, wave the magic wand, and poof....it ran. My total effort was like 37 seconds.

This is all about Mark Anderson and all the guys that spent their day/days getting this thing to happen. Ron Perry...didn't know you were there all day too! Who else did I miss? Great job guys!

 

Never underestimate the power of the wand. It's like when you watch surgery on TV. The good ones make it look so simple.

 

That was the greatest story EVER!!! Thanks for the pictures..And ALL your help! I dont even have the right words to say thank you! Leon sounds wonderful!!! And so are all of you!
There are so many terrible things in this world, that happen on a daily basis, Im glad Leeroys tragedy created such a wonderful story!

 

LISA you have been OVERHAULED.
Congrats to all of the people that put forth the effort.
It speaks volumes for your dedication, I wish I could have helped......

 

Wow, this community really pulled it together. Cheers to all those who were able to contribute to this project.

 

Completely unbelievable. I didn't realize Leon was the car I bought the tires from. I had a chance to check it out, and it was a very nice looking car. I was wondering if it was going to the parts bin or not. I'm very glad it ended up staying in one piece and going to a good home. Great job and three cheers to Mark Anderson and all who helped out!

 

It was nice to see Leon saved, much to nice of a car to part out. I was shocked at how nice it is. A good clay bar and detail and a slathering of Leatherique on the seats and all will be good.

 

Umm just wondering what Clay bar is so I can get right on it!

 

Any autoparts store sells them. It is actually a bar of clay that is rubbed on the paint with a spray lubricant to remove any fallout or debris that is sticking to the paint. Follow that up with a mild scratch remover or polish and then wax. Your paint will be silky smooth and glossy.

 

yay...my first Leon Project...sheeshh you guys sure did leave me the easy stuff!!!

 

There should be a Newbie's detailing thread in the Concourse & Detailing forum if you want to read the whole preferred wash/bar/wash/polish/wax process from them to get Leon looking as good as possible.

And a big "Cheers!" for you guys. That's fantastic work, and it's always great to see one get back on the road. I hate to think that someday our cars will go the way of the Dodo, and that's why it's up to us to keep that from happening. I know as I get older I'll be doing my bit, just gotta learn as much as I can now
