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.

Everyone should be very happy with the outcome.
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.

Thumbs up

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.

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.

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
