Here's what I've been doing lately.
Started out like this
It's now 100% free of rust, all the bushings have been replaced, the driveline has been renewed, I've bought some exterior/interior trim etc.
Today after a lot of hard work from both my side and my painters side, I ended up with this.
Sepang Bronze ready to go
The paint is now done, all that's missing is clear coat.
And there it was!
I'm really happy with the color, which looks amazing in person, and not so bad on pictures either. There's some small minor faults with the painting (especially on the hood), but that'll be taken care of as soon as possible. Since I changed both the rear wheelhouses, there also was a small dent back there, but hopefully it'll not show that good when viewed in daylight.
I've also bought a almost complete set of originally tinted copper windows, which I think will match the car's color perfectly. For rims I'm going with some Keskin KT1 10x17 back, 9-8,5x17 front. These rims will however only be temporarily, as I will eventually exchange the 4x100 to a E30 M3 5x120 with E36 M3 brake discs and calippers, some neat coilovers and then also a S50B30/B32 engine. I'm trying to make this car as perfect as I honestly can, so it'll be a long running project. Hopefully never selling it again, until my days are over.
I am aware that a lot of pictures from the whole process is missing, but I can't be arsed to upload them all due to this wacky system.
I'll update as soon as there is anything to report,
Michael.
