replaced wiper blades with new old stock ( not actually new a bit.......... just a bit used......) trico wiper blades........

i like them because they are old and curved nicely as the windshield........ :rocknroll:

but not an old school radio

 

polished the rear boot lid chrome trim

 

replaced the brackets with PVC plates and new bolts (old brackets had rust and no way to repair them)

That is some awsome workmanship.

Makes me think when i restart on my car i'll need to redo some of it.

 

Keep up the good work and add some pictures showing how you do some of this stuff, it is realy inspiring.
