The Final Report: 850R Beauty Shots
As the 850R project draws to a close, and blog posts have still yet to be written, I figured I would post some of the "work in progress shots".
Mid-July Summer Update
As you may have noticed there has not been much activity on my site as of late. Currently things are winding down with the 850R. I do have many images for the paint restoration and other work being done. My S60 has had a lot done to it as well, and images and a write up are coming for that as well.
My work and life during this summer means I have less time for the site at the moment. Thanks for visiting and checking the updates!
Summer Progress Update
I have been pretty absent from posting any updates, so let me address that. The semester ended for Steve and I, and I have taken temporary possession of the 850R to finish up the last fixes before selling. I plan on doing the PCV and the clearcoat before the end of June and selling it. We sort of ran out of time with the lack of good weather during March and April which severely limited the progress we could make on the car. Right now we are going to try for around $3000-$4000 for the car, which we think will be fair considering the work put in, and the rarity of the car. Stay tuned as we will have more updates coming soon!
