1995 Toyota Tercel Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1995 Toyota Tercel.  This little red economy car came to our shop as a faded, chalky looking thing.  We brought this Tercel back by first sanding out all of the chips and scratches, then applying a primer sealer to provide a perfect surface for the new paint to bond to.  Once those steps were complete we repainted the entire car with our most basic "Enamel" paint!  This Toyota is a great example, showcasing how even our most basic paint with the correct prep work can look great, all done while staying on a tight budget!

Ferrari FF and F355 Destroyed in Offroad Adventures

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is not one but 2 different Ferraris used for off roading. Sadly this isn't the first time we've joked about a Ferrari being used as a Jeep. The first wreck comes from Lancashire, England where an Oakley Design tuned Ferrari FF worth about US$300,000 stopped running up this hill when it finally hit a tree!

The second set of photos comes from Germany where a farmer was using his Ferrari F355 to plow his field. We are only speculating but it seems obvious that either an angry bull or a belligerent gang of llamas rolled the Ferrari several times.

Thankfully, both the farmer and the hill climber survived these crashes with few if any injuries.

Thanks to our buddies at WreckedExotics.com for always providing us with expensive mayhem.

Almost-Everything's "Red Rocket"

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is our very own 2000 BMW 528i Touring. This is our "Shop Car" we use it to transport customers locally after dropping off their cars for us to paint, hauling supplies, now it will also be useful for catching eyes and promoting our shop (on the off days that we arent in our Red Rolls Royce, or our Golden Helicopter). We repaired little dings and imperfections on the BMW's body, sanded out all of the rock chips, applied a primer sealer, and finally painted it with our Company Color: GM's "Torch Red" using our premium single stage "Urethane" paint!

Nissan GT-R End-Over

Here's something you don't see everyday. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a Nissan GT-R Racer. In the video several GT-Rs pass by during the 2014 Long Tom Hill Climb race in the town of Sabie, Mpumalanga, South Africa. The last car takes the turn a little too fast, flips several times before disappearing down a ravine. This was the fourth run of the day for 47 year old driver Wilhelm Baard. Fortunately he was not seriously injured and attended the awards ceremony at the end of the event. Baard won South Africa's Knysna Hill Climb in 2011 in a GT-R.

The 2014 Long Tom Hill Climb took place on January 25th and 26th. It was sponsored by Renault (Nissan's parent) and the Sports Car Club of South Africa. The race covers 6.3 km (3.9 miles) along the banks of the Sabie River in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The next video shows cars leaving the starting line and beginning their assault on the hill. The sounds are great.

Many thanks to the spectators who recorded these videos, our friends at WreckedExotics.com who reliably find an astonishing amount of this type stuff on a daily basis, and to AutoEvolution who provided us with the background story and more images of the event.

1991 Toyota MR2 Customization and Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Toyota MR2.  This "Poor Man's Ferrari" came to our shop looking like a "Poor Man's Toyota" (No Offense Toyota) its previous owners decided to Spray Paint the entire car. In addition to the spray paint, the body kit was improperly mounted, damaged, and needed replacement! The MR2's owner acquired all of the replacement parts while we tore down the car.  We mounted the new bodykit so that it fit as close to perfect as possible after repainting the car with Ford's "Hulla Blue Metallic" color that this car's owner had requested in our "Base Coat-Clear Coat" paint!
