…in parallel, we used our grinders, heat guns and our big sandblaster machine and removed all materials (paint, rubber) from the body of the car, and cleaned the hood, the fenders, the doors and the backdoor :)…the car's bottom plate cleaning is a very very big su*k!:lol:

More great work, this car will look like new!

When you click to add an image and the box pops up to post the photo link in to, okay that box, then the next one that comes up, click on 'full size' not 'thumb nail'

That's assuming when you are in the box typing your reply, WYSIWYG is not enabled (look in the top right corner above the box that you type in.)

Hope that makes sense???  :lol:  :thumbs:
