DESCRIPTION
Carrying on with the JDM theme, here is another rescued icon. The owner of this 6.5 TME has been slowly restoring it back to its factory glory. The rather thin single stage paint didn't leave a huge amount of wiggle room in terms of correction but the owner understood and appreciated that whilst much of the gloss and clarity could be restored to the paint, there would also be an honest patina that would remain, showing the nearly 20 year history of this car being on the road. Overall I feel a great balance was achieved, making the car look great, whilst not turning it into a show car and still letting the owner feel comfortable enough to drive it as a daily.
