After watching your video I no longer wonder why 36hp is just fine for you |
Dwayne, I have bad news for you...the 36hp is in fact a 40hp with a big bore kit (1385cc) Supercharged. |

It's probably been said, but I'm kinda new here so I just have to say the paint on your car is amazing. In some pictures it looks like black chrome. So nice!! |

Thanks Johnny, I used a clay bar on the paint for the first time a couple of months ago and then a resin polish and a I really like the outcome. |
I’d like to think my experience had something to do with your interest in clay barring. Your car does look fabulous! _________________ 1973 Porsche 914 2.0

It did indeed, thank you. I was impressed how well your paintwork was transformed. I watched a couple of Youtube videos and ordered an Autoglym kit. _________________ John.

I believe a more correct verb might be “resurrected”.

Hey , I have to take some selfies so that I can create an online dating profile.
Do you suppose that the clay bar procedure could do the same thing to my 57 year old face that it did to those 60+ year old Karmann Ghias?
Amazing! Simply amazing. |
