And she is ready to roll! ... ... ... Tomorrow. Still taking care of some the title & transferring plate stuff. There is still a lot more on the to do list for the car, but its at least ready to hit the road. This brings up a good 'you might be an ecomodder if' you're excited to get rid of your old car so you can start driving your 15 year old Chevy Metro.

I got it all cleaned up over the past couple days. Wash & wax. The bumper covers came back very nicely. The wheel covers need some work before going back on the car. The paint has completely peeled off and I'm debating just fiber-glassing over them for smooth covers.

Before.




After.





I only heat gunned the top of the front bumper. Everything else was done with mothers back to black plastic restorer. They could use a bit more attention and I'll probably keep applying it to see how much they'll really come back.
