    Hey guys. just finished my mom's red Volvo 850. I'll upload some afters tommorow morning after the sun comes out. No befores, my camera was giving me grief and not focusing so I only have these select few "teaser" photos.

    This car has been garaged for the first year we had it, then it was always kept out doors. Has never seen a claying, polishing ect, and is only washed like three times a year :doh:.

    After half the hood...

    Front of the hood is COVERED in rock chips, but then again, so is the entire thing. Needs to be repainted really.

    All those white things? Rock chips. :yikes:

    Front bumper is terrible, the wheels were worse.

    And last of the teaser photos, some 50/50 on the trunk. Rock chips here too. :doh:

    Wow..the 50/50 shot looks great. Take lots of pics for your 1st job!! That front end looks like a 13 year old boy in need of some benzoyl peroxide.

    As promised, some after pics! Probably could've gotten better pictures once the sun is higher, but I gotta go rush-pack for camping :campfire:
    Hope you enjoy the photos, if you see any areas for improvement please let me know :thumb:

    Not sure why it's not posting the images...
    Links are working fine, but it messes up when i put the URL between the [ /IMG] thing.

    Edit: I gotta upload the photos one by one I guess :doh:.

    Such a lovely volvo, I have a sweet spot for the older Volvo's :druling:

    I just like the body lines, that's why I have a 1995 Volvo 960 :cheerl:

    Vehicle looks great, well done.
