++++++++++++++++++++++++ CRV ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One of my Church friend brought a 2nd hand 1st generation CRV, after seeing my “dare you to view” thread…
He decided must get his full corrected & detailed only by me…..
Initially I am a bit resisting…..as I just recover from a very severe food poisoning & diarrhea (15 time purging since thurs till fri……sat I did a full day correction extreme make over….from an intense hot day…where I have so much heat rash & sun burn ……on a merz …another extreme make over…

It wasn’t easy but a man got to do what a man got to do & I just loves to do it

Here is the process I went thru
