The story of the Alpena B7 is one of restoration and transformation. The car, once vandalized and repossessed, was in rough shape when it arrived at Legit Street Cars. With a record of 243 trouble codes and a misfiring engine, it seemed like a daunting task to bring this car back to life. But with determination and skill, the team at Legit Street Cars took on the challenge.
After whittling down the trouble codes to 18 and fixing the rough running issue, the next step was to complete a very specific Alpena test drive procedure to verify the engine’s 500 horsepower. The car was then meticulously worked on, with scratches being buffed out, clear coat peeling being fixed, and mirror caps being restored.
The blog writer then introduces a flash sale on Avalon King’s DIY ceramic coating kit, offering a special deal for the first 500 viewers. The process of fixing the scratches on the car is detailed, from assessing the damage to applying color and clear coat to the affected areas. The writer shares tips and tricks for DIY scratch repair, making it accessible for anyone to try at home.
As the story progresses, the car undergoes a full buff and polish, revealing a deep glossy finish that brings out the beauty of the Alpena B7’s metallic blue paint. The writer shares before and after photos of each section of the car that was worked on, showcasing the dramatic transformation.
In the final stages of the restoration, the car is ceramic coated to protect the newly restored paint and give it a long-lasting shine. The writer expresses pride in the results achieved on a budget, with the car looking almost brand new after the restoration process.
The story ends with a teaser for the next installment of the project, where the car will undergo further repairs and modifications before being put up for sale. The writer invites readers to suggest a name for the project and encourages them to stay tuned for more updates on the Alpena B7’s journey back to glory.
