Great Post and amazing transformations.

My GT came with a long list of big ticket item maintenance already done and I've spent this year catching up on anything it needed to further return it to showroom condition.

First shot was taken after driving it 550 miles from VA to MA. Second shot was taken tonight after spending the last couple of weeks polishing the paint and wheels.

Joey had your car been in a accident prior to you owning it? Looks like the fender that burned didn't match the car.

Thought I would add mine here as well. Original pic of my car when I bought the junker off ebay, the Phone Dial Era, and finally the current pic.

Jason I love the clean look of your car, and the wheels just make it. I'm not a fan of the phone dials (sorry guys), and those 02 Carreras are one of my favorite designs. Very nice!

Hi Mark, The thread is "Before and After" Mine is sort of Before and During. Process will be long.... paint, interior, mechanical. The Before pics don't look too bad but if you could see it up close there are some real issues with the clear and basecoat. Also wanted to graft on a pair of GTS hips as well. This will be a long process, patience required. Really looking forward to the day I will have an After pic to share.

WOW! After looking at the pics I didn't have as much to do as I thought.

Only had mine 6 months, but surprising what a good detail job and wheels do!

Thanks Mark! That 'after' pic is from SITM 2009. I don't have the front spoiler that came with the body kit on it right now (cracked it from it being too low to handle potholes & such).

Here is a pic of the front with it on... it had a very aggressive look to it. Sorry for the grainy cell-phone pic...
