Back with a new paint job.
The 82 is back home after almost a month at the painter. It's almost all back together, but I still have some things that I want to adjust and I really would like to get the front driving, fog, turn signal and clearance lights wired back correctly, but the paint is really nice.
It's Moss Green Metallic, but I had bigger than standard metallic chip - I tried a couple of combinatiions as tests before I decided on this one. I hope you can see the color in the close-up of the front fender, I'm really pleased with the results. Darn, it looks much bluer in the image than it is. It's clearly a green car!
Rear wiper removal, antenna removal, side moulding removal, headlight washer removal.
Now, I'd love to find a good front grill insert at a reasonable price, if anyone is sitting on one - note "reasonable price."

I'm going to have the silver 90 repainted by him as well, as soon as I can get the engine back together. It's linen gray metallic and I'm going to try some metallic options on it as well.
I literally have "days" invested in tear-down and rebuild, but my time is worth nothing, or so I' tell my wife.
That's more than you asked, but for the money, he did an amazing job - in my opinion.

What color was it before? Love that green!
Enjoy the ride!

It's my designated "daily driver", the others get to stay in the garage and prepare themselves for special occasions.

I just had mine painted GT Silver...looks gray till the sun hits it.
You did a great job and so did the painter....but no Aero mirrors?
And are you going to do a shark antenna?

Awesome color, and nicely done!
I hope that using it daily you won't regret the side molding removal... but it definitely looks awesome without!
Do you have some shots of the rear, with the wiper delete?
