Approving felt like it took ages, but I'm finally here. The car I own is a 1987 Ford ThunderBird TurboCoupe. It has 227k miles and I'm thinking some of you will tell me to just forget it, but here is what I have to work with:

More pictures than you ever wanted to see.
This is the car when I first purchased it on July 16th last year:

The paint loss you see on the drivers side door is from where I removed the horrid skull sticker. That is the only place where it took paint with it. I assume nearly the entire drivers side was repainted due to the horrible condition of the paint and on the door where you can see burgandy poking through along with rust. :angry On the rear quarter, you can see where the paint shifts from somewhat reflective to just cloudy and horrible. I don't know what happened to the trim on the bumpers. Looks like a horrible job at painting. Nearly all the defects on the car were there when I got it... but the drivers side gets worse every time I wash it. I can see the paint coming off on the towel.
The only thing I have done to maintain what was left of the paint is give it the Meguiars 3 step system, and I've clayed it once.
Oh... A little about myself.
I'm 17 and I work at a car wash. It's a horrible place to work knowing what I know. All the equipment is older than I am! I have a big interest in cars and performance, although I would never want to work on them for a living.(work on your own car for about 5 minutes and find out why) :xyxthumbs I will be a senior this year and still have NO idea what I'm going to go for college for. I'm a huge procrastinator. :scared:
