So it looks like the Jade Green was brushed on OVER the orange spray paint... and you can't really see it in these pics, but it kinda looks like there was a coat of white between those two. Jeez...

Popped it in the Spic 'n Span about midnight last night...

You can see a little piece of the white spacer under the front bumper... the front screwpost had been cut ridiculously short AND on an angle. Now it still uses the longer screw that someone had put in it, but without the two Tjet tires that were being used as spacers when I found it...

No, it's not gonna win any concours shows, but it makes a neat little runner...

All hail the mighty Spic 'N Span.

Looks good, a little plastic polish and it would look great...

Wow, it's amazing what a little elbow grease will accomplish :)

Now with a bit of Bare Metal Foil work....and some Future that will be a nice little runner :thumbsup:

Way to go. Always like to see an old T-Jet restored. Do some more. :-)

Some Future will really help that windshield. Looks good so far. :thumbsup: rr
