Default wedding day astra...cleaning time..

Hi Guys,
just thought i would shine a little history on how the comes to be.

Basically kris's sis was getting hitched today and wanted a red car for the wedding, the only one he knew of kris could borrow was his uncles (whos a grave digger). he warned kris it needed a serious clean (we didnt realise that much!) and thought we were man enough for the challenge. so yesterday we set about it

heres the before pics (we forgot to get pics of the paint before washing as we were eager to start on the challenge we had

After 5 Hours and 2 red bulls each later.

Enough crap from the inside of the car to block a dyson....


ooooo Shiny Shiny



here is a link CLICKY to the photobucket gallery with the rest of the photos in as the forum wont let me post more than 15 images n i've got 21 LOL

after doing all the work the car was also Fogged to give it that new shiny car smell n kill off any bad smells hiding around... (also shock the hell outta passengers on a bus going past lol)

job was a good un, after that it was off to the Chinese for some food n time to stare at our work.

hope u guys like
