Caught off guard.

I try to wash and wax my car once a week and since they called for snow this week here I wanted to wash and wax it before it snowed!
My dad caught me off guard in these pictures of me waxing the car.







I can't reach the top of my car to wax it ! So I got some incriminating pictures of the old man!






Now my car is nice and shiny!

You wax it once a week? Really? I wax my daily driver 95 about once every 3 months or when water stops beading when it rains. It sits outside all the time and the wax doesn't wear off that fast. Try Meguires stuff. It lasts longer ;)

BTW the Cougar looks nice :D

Thing looks awesome.
I notice that even on such a perfect example as that car...the front of the hood's gap is still huge. I thought mine was all busted up...I'm starting to think not. I don't think I've seen ONE of our cars on this entire board without a huge hood gap LOL. Seems like everything on these cars is fit together very well...with the exception of the hood. Guess it's pretty reasonable...I see plenty of '60s and '70s vintage vehicles with door, trunk gaps that VARY in width.
 
Any comments/compliments/jeers from friends yet? LOL

hood gap?
not too many complaints yet just that the back seat is too small but I don't care becuase I dont sit back there!
but i've had plenty compliments on it!
I love that thing.

Yesterday me and my dad had to go to the auto parts store to buy some seafoam for her though becuase it felt like she was stuttering when I would press on the gas she wouldn't go she would stutter so I had to press on the gas harder.
Seems to be ok since the seafoam though.

haha oops I only seen it in that one! Yeah my dad found it by talking to some guy at a car show he went to.
And his dad was selling it so my dad went to look at it and saw it was in pretty good condition.
And I can't wax all of it . Can't wax the bottom of it becuase the paint just rubs right off.

When spring comes me and my dad are going to clean the paint up or something. but until then no plans since it is almost winter and its really cold outside all the time it would be best if I waited for anything major.

Yep...you're a chip off the ol' block, alright. ;)

Car looks fantastic! You got a great deal, Sam. I see the bottom of the door on the '85 XR7 is getting really bad though...is your dad planning to install those new doors before winter?

I like your hairstyle, too. :)

I think the only think I would change about your car is I'd add window tint.That's it.It's great looking as is.
