I agree! I can't stand the black grilles anymore, if I find a set at the yard before it sells, they'll definitely be going on.

The interior is Kirschrot. Would benefit from a good cleaning. Lots of dirt on the surface makes it look dark. Taurus has more brown to the red.

This looks like it would be a lot of fun to polish up.

I did clay and polish the passenger front fender above the beltline as a test, and it came out really nice, so the rest of the paint does have some potential.

Agreed. I need to start whispering in the wife's ear at night.
