Project C5
I bought my 99 coupe new and it currently has 195,000 miles on it and it was showing a little road ware so I decided to clean it up.
Here are some pics from the project. I did all the work myself except the seats, I had a good upholstery shop do them for me.

Ah, you didn't do the seats yourself!?!
Great job man! Looks great!
I spent 4 months on a '78 Chevy truck body in '94 and decided body work and painting wasn't my calling. But, it's makes me appreciate seeing what you guys do all that much more.

Wow! You've got skilz!!! 
Great job. However, what I find funny is that you outsourced the work on the seat skins, which is probably the one thing out of your entire project that I could probably do myself.
Looks great! What do you have hidden under the car cover in the background?
