You guys do Audi's, Benze's, Beamers, Porche's, etc. Then someone brings in their 2000 Honda Civic. lol But I think this is the best one you have shown yet. The horrid condition that car was in was crazy and you guys turned it into show room condition. I applaud you and give you + rep for this project!
