GLWTS,hope she stays all original.

It's only a big step if it's actually taken. It's been over a year and two threads later, no step. All talk.

Selling it to yourself?

Dude, I don't know what your problem is but, I guess you have trouble reading. I said I wanted to sell it previously but, changed my mind (can you really blame someone who owns a VX lol). Now i'm saying I want a specific car but, I do not have enough money saved up for it just yet. I wanted to see what people thought this car was worth in the meantime.

.....As long as the car is in my ownership, it will stay stock. Aside from that, I would hope that the new owner continues to keep it that way. Anything else??

mother of god i could only dream my milano vx was still that minty. paint has faded, people around here can't drive for **** and i've had two fender benders in the front. nothing that can't be fixed though. but i'm going through a lot of the same repairs as you right now. i've got a nice build thread at honda tech if you want to check it out

My paint started out looking like utter crap with next to no depth/reflection. I spent 2 days restoring the paint.





As for selling, I haven't even come close to finding the car (either totally thrashed or asking WAY too much) I want yet so i'm still driving it.

well your paint looks awesome. i think mine is too far gone to get any real correction going. i've got a couple friends in the detailing business so i may talk to them and see what they think.

at this point, its not even about what the car is worth anymore to me. i've got so much time, sweat, and work into this thing i don't think i could ever sell it. same goes with my tahoe. i will be buried in these cars and i just pray that nothing serious happens to them. granted, they are just material things, but i really have enjoyed the time spent and the knowledge gained in the process and hope that i can continue to build it even better as time goes on.

Thanks man! I try to take as best care of it as I reasonably can.

Combination of Flex rotary, Porter Cable 7424xp. Products-wise it was Meguairs M205 followed by glaze, sealant and wax. I didn't and wouldn't want to cut a lot of paint being that the car is 20 years old and has original paint I didn't want to risk fading or cutting too much. It's not perfect and still has swirls but, I personally haven't seen a red one in better condition, haha. The only other car i've seen in my area is a first owner '94 Si with 60k miles and his is black.
