The owner owns rats for pet. Looks new again!

 

[Pats300zx]

What a transformation !!!! Simply Amazing.

 

[gmblack3]

Recondition of the year!

 

[DeanSweet]

Truly amazing turnaround!



Anybody else notice how yellow the shift pattern cap was on top of the shifter?! Gross...

 

[Thomas Dekany]

One of the best transformations in a long time.



Simply amazing! :bow

 

[RaskyR1]

Outstanding work Tim! I especially like the dash work!





Crazy to think that the owner could turn around and sell the car now and the buyer would have no idea how that car was really treated! :tape:





So what did the owner say when he picked it up?

 

[imported_dfazekas]

Wow...I'm floored. Incredible transformation.

 

[white gecko]

That is just Epic.



Epic Fail followed by Epic Win. Congrats!

 

[wascallyrabbit]

if i didn't know better i'd say that was flood damage. but that recovery was amazing.

Tim that was incredible work, interior looks unreal now from where it came from. Nice work!

 

[autoaesthetica]

Unreal Tim. Read through from my desk, someone came in and goes "WHAT THE (heck) IS THAT!?!?".



Unreal transformation - simply mindblowing - I mean it when I say, thank you for taking the time to document this and share. Alot of people don't realize alot of detailing for many people isn't foo-foo making relatively clean cars back to perfect. Its cars like this, taking them from more dirt than car and making them perfect.

I LOVE grunge like that! As long as there's no biohazards or unremoveable stains pigpens like that give the opportunity for the most remarkable turnarounds. Give me a shithole or a pink/red single-stage every time. They make you look like a magician!



So Tim, who'd you study with... Houdini? Harry Blackstone Jr.? Were you able to pull a rabbit out of the glove box? :clap2:

I judge people on how clean there cars are. This car says a lot of him.

Yeah, it's kind of hard not to have some kind of preconceptions based on that rolling woodpile.

Wow, I am blown away from all the nice comments everyone. Thank you all again. I am glad so many people got a kick out of this one.

That is what the owner of this car needed.........a kick in the A**, what a turnaround on this car. The problem with a car in this condition is you put that "Superhuman effort" into the correction and some of the stuff is unfixable....like the seats, I would have said to the owner "You know you are going to PAY big here ..............right".



GREAT JOB Tim!!!.

That's one dramatic turnaround.

On an optimistic note in a business sense, and since leopards don't change their spots, I'm thinking you're going to get that Mini back again in another 6 - 8 months and it'll need another complete overhaul.

I was thinking the same thing!! It won't be long! Awesome work!

 

[hamza7]

WOW, I really have to learn how to remove seats. It's probably a handy skill have during jobs like this
