Would like a Few Demonstration cars

Hello,

I have a 91 FC that i am building up, and i do high end detail work for cash. I do some of the cars on supraforums, apexi, top secret, some various shop cars, and some of the So Cal GTRs.

I am looking for a few good FCs and FDs, or even older rotaries are cool to help me rep my detail work. I would mainly like to detail the cars for sevenstock. I would be more than happy to send/post pictures of my work, give references if interested. Of course i will give out discounts.

I do everything from full interiors, to oxidization removal, buff and polish, even full out colorsands if needed be. I can give more details later if asked for.

Thanks for your time.

-Ganesh

Sorry, I do not paint...but i do colorsanding. That is about as close to body shop work i do. Most of the oxidized, fucked up cars i get can be fixed without paint. My FC was in a similar shape, faded pink but was supposed to be red. The car came out good with a good cut and buff with colorsanding.

I helped a friend work on his 1991 Miata which had very faded paint. The car was supposed to be red but it looked pink faded. His Rear piece and Front bumper had absolutely no clearcoat left on it, so it was impossible to fix. However the rest of the car had clear left on it intact and was not bubbling, or peeling. So a good buffing and colorsanding got rid of the imperfections and got it close to swirl free.









In the first/last pic you can see the clear is totally gone, when you buff/colorsand you work on the top layer of available clear to remove/cut imperfections so the fresh clearcoat can come out and let the true color shine.

Looks good, wet sanding and buffing/cutting is not easy. Very nice.

Is this for free or are you doing it at a reduced cost?

I cannot do this for absolutely free because the work is usually a good 5-6 hours of work, but i can give a fat discount on labor. Material costs cannot be avoided, plus i am mobile so i charge a little bit for gas.

I do not do carpet kits or replacing of headliners or seats, etc...but i do cleaning, conditioning and restoration of interiors.
