    Oh it keep it, restore it to its original state which is what you're effectively doing and keep it as a good, clean example of the original car.

    Thank you, Joel, from the bottom of my heart, for ordering a new grille. I genuinely think changing it back to stock will almost double the value. And those wheels are just terrible. Can't wait to see the end result!

    That’s a hell of a transformation! I’m with you on the grill but I actually like the wheels. Really enjoyed the video fella.
