What's up everyone? i guess this can be my introduction to the forum... i have been a car enthusiast for several years now... ive only owned 3 cars thus far in my life (im 23) and ive loved every single one of them... i am just recently getting into serious detailing... just bought a PC 7424 and a glass restoration kit (ill explain the kit later)... and im excited to really get my car where i want it... first off, my very first car... 1994 Mazda MX-6 4 cylinder 5 spd... great first car... handled really well... and was just a lot of fun to drive... this is what got me hooked on rare stuff because the mx-6... you just dont see every day... not done up at all, at least....
basically all i did to that car was the wheels... and kept it clean...bought it when i was 18 ... then i stepped up my game a little bit when i was 20... with this...
a 1996 Mazda MX-6 LS (6 cylinder 5 spd) ... modded to all hell... cams, heads, headers, clutch, light flywheel, etc etc ... basically anything i could get my hands on and bolt on... that car was my freaking baby..it was an extremely rare factory paint color... kauai blue metallic..clearest headlights around... for 2 years... it all ended in april of 06 with this..
cold spring morning... lady in front of me stops short.. i slam on the brakes.. and they locked and i slid 39 ft.. the car was totalled... and parted out... i was carless for about 4-5 months... driving around in my grandmothers toyota avalon (pimptastic) and then i got my current ride...
2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi - crystal gray metallic... lightly modded ... its daily driven... bought it in july of 06 with 7000 miles on it.... it now has 25600 or so on it... im racking up the miles and racking up the filth... i clean the car as often as i get the chance... but its still next to impossible to keep the way i want it... the drivers side fender currently has a primer spot from and incident i had... and the front bumper has some curb rash on it... but other than that the car looks pretty damn good IMO...
heres a few more pix of it
now as far as the plan for the car goes ... im debating to get the whole car repainted in the same color as the blue mx6 was... or to just repaint the sections that need it in the stock color... the whole car as water spots in the paint (appear to be etched) and on the glass... hence the glass kit... the previous owner lived right near a nuclear power plant so i chalk it all up to acid rain and neglect... i park my car outside all the time... and drive it every day so its not perfect... but post up thoughts and questions and comments and let me know what you guys think.
