I picked this car up in late Jan. It was totalled, hit in the left rear. The accident took out the spoiler, decklid, fiberglass aftermarket bumper cover, crash bar and left quarter panel. The floorpan didnt get damaged. Anyway, picked it up for a song and gave it to the bodyshop while I was in WY for work. Went and picked it up a month later and gave it a good bath.
I have most of the dirty pics on my home machine, I have only uploaded the LF exterior.
The exterior pic doesnt show how bad the car actually was. They had covered its tail with some plastic after the accident and the adhesive from the tape really didnt want to come off. The paint was extra swirly, especially where the paintshop had just polished. The hood could give reflections of shapes but nothing near as sharp as it should have been. During the claying I found out that the car had been repainted and was actually metallic black.
Anyway, second time with the PC. Had to use the collection of Sonus goodies that just had been delivered
I used (going from memory):
Meguias car wash
Sonus gray claybar on paint (wheels/glass were two different old Meguiars bars)
PC 7336
Sonus orage, green and blue pads
Klasse AIO, Klasse sealant
topped with Meguiars #26
Stoners for all the glass
Mothers Reflections(?) on the tires
Only exterior before :
Clean exterior:
I know its wearing Mercury & Ford taillamps:
Someone was mad at the previous owner:
And this is what rolled in after the car rolled out of the garage. Had an inch of snow on it by nightfall:
Details on the car:
`98 Contour SVT (not sure if 98 or 98.5)
121K on the clock
Interior is in great shape except for old purple tint, some white latex paint on the left rear floormat and a wear hole in the driver's mat.
The reason I bought it....
....its supercharged! :woot2:
