1995 Acura NSX Restoration Detail
 

Here is the completed job by "Bob'n Bing Inc. The teasers were posted earlier but here is the fruit of our labor(by three former GI guys) we had 96 hours plus into the car as every surface from paint to trim and all of the suspension had fifteen years of built up crud.Special thanks to Richie and Mark Zamzow for helping me thru this last two weeks of a busy schedule.

Here is the car in the beginning.

The front bumper had been re-painted the week previous but needed finishing as it had sand scratches and holos.

Customer requested we not wash the car conventionally, so out came my "Low pressure washer" which sprays a fine mist as opposed to getting the car really wet.

Wow, great job!

wow indeed! Very impressive job, I would never have thought it was in such bad condition previously after those last pics.

how in the world did you guys pull this off?

http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/p...5-31-10032.jpg

^ That is 15 years of washing the car, letting the washmit fall on the ground, still using it to finish washing, etc, etc...

You guys to first rate work. That last photo is better than new. 96 HOURS !! crazy

NSX's are one the most under appreciated sports cars of all time.

Beautiful work, as always.

whatever i buy next i'm going to have to ship it out to you guys... astounding work!

Wow, that's a seriously impressive job! The 50/50 shots are incredible. Not sure how long of a trip it was, but I hope the owner covered the car while on that open trailer.
