Painting is history...

At last, all that needs to be painted have been painted. The mags and wheelwells were sprayed yesterday so that formally finishes off the painting stage of Sergio's restoration. I am sure that there will be some retouchings to be made (I have already noticed two small areas which need adjustment) but they will not be anything major at all.

The wheelwells, hubs, brake calipers, suspension, and other underbody components now look very fresh.  The biggest change was in the magwheels as they were not in the best condition when I got the car.  Aside from the repair I had done on the first day, I have not really bothered to even thoroughly clean them up since it was part of the plan from the beginning to have them repainted.  As can be seen from the photos, the front and back sides have been given the royal treatment and are a great contrast to how they were just a couple of days ago.


The hood has been buffed and both front and rear bumpers are now attached.


The whole thing is starting to look like a car again...
