Default Weissach Refinishing

Just thought I might share some pictures as to whats been going on over the last couple weeks. My car was in pretty decent condition... just kinda old and tired throughout. Aside from the seats, the leather was in fantastic condition. Since that can be one of the most expensive portions of a rebuild, it seemed well worth it to bring the rest of the car up to snuff. First a complete repaint, then new carpet kits and seats. Got the covers from Robert Budd (excellent job!), and am having a local guy install them. Ill update as we go along.

(P.S. never been one for taking pictures while doing stuff, dunno why just not really my thing. These are few and far between and just with my phone)

Nice job. I always wanted to do one of these - just could never find a five speed.

This being a 5 speed was the reason I picked it up haha. That and the interior I guess

Thanks! My dad did all the spraying. Dunno bout the cash part, had to redo it about 3 times...got about 6 gallons of paint on it now haha. End result turned out pretty great though.
