Looks really great! Coming together very nicely!

I am sure that the shop has a paint oven to bake the paint? It will be interesting if they recommend to you to not wax/seal the car for a month or so to let the chemicals out gas...at least that is what I have always done.

Thanks for the pix!

Work has slowed down, garage is packed and they are working on other cars until my PSS10's arrive.

Currently detailing stage, doors back on, windows back on and callipers removed for re spray. In the last 20 days they've been curing the orange peel which now is miles better. The car is late because it had been back to square one and re sprayed, the owner of the garage is not happy with the finish (which I thought was amazing) and now left the paint booth a couple of days ago.





I am now pleased with the work of the paint finish on the fender, the best is yet to come. Its taking a slow progress but hopefully it will turn out great. Whilst the car is having these things done I requested for the distributor timing "gun" for adjustment.

The door handles installed today, the callipers are resprayed red and look outstanding.

I think another week and the car will be finished. I am having the oil replaced and installing new oil filter.

Passed by the carrosserie who has recently finished restoring my car.

The brakes have recently been sprayed and the decal installed with a clear coat over it. I am surprised with the quality, really is outstanding. My OEM callipers colour has faded/cracked over the years.

Here are some pictures.

The front lights have been installed and whats left is the wheels, rear, front bumper plus side skirts, sunroof and the rear engine lid with the wing.

Coming along nicely.
