I need to show her off!
I recently purchased a 1991 ZR-1 with only 12,100 miles and a decent service record history. I bought the car sight-unseen...the first time I'd ever done that...and the first ZR-1 I've ever owned.
I took a chance on it and am very pleased. The car has everything where it counts...it has a good service history and is mechanically super solid. It shows very little wear on the interior. Great bones, but it hasn't had a real detail for years. The whole car needs polish. I started with the worst part, then engine bay. The engine and suspension were caked with dirt, grime -- even some leaves and grass. I took some BEFORE pictures...and wished I had taken more detailed photos because it was worse than I thought after I got in. In any case, I spent about 10 hours so far on the engine bay, front suspension and wheels. I still don't have everything perfect, but it looks so much better...and I wanted to share some BEFORE and AFTER photos with you all, because this forum has been a saving grace...helping me in so many ways including teaching me about the Arm & Hammer toothpaste plenum-cleaning trick. It really works. THANK YOU, EVERYONE! Two BEFORE shots and 3 AFTERS: Last edited by ZR1crusader; 01-21-2021 at 12:08 AM. |
