Default I spent 4 hours today...

washing my car...rubbing compound...polishing compound...wax, and I think that I managed to get alot of the tornado pink off of the top surfaces. Man...this car is a labor of love. On a more interesting note, my buddy, who has a WRX and makes fun of me all of the time for sinking money into an older car with less power, thinks that his clutch is shot after 32k miles...I told him it could be his fluid viscous diff, and that he should learn to respect the torsen.

Default I did that to the 80 a day after I got it (mallow red - darker than tornado)...

...took about 7-8 hours just to get it to look decent. Any older red Audi paint is a labor of love!

Amen about respecting the torsen! รพ
