Looks great. First time I have seen a tank like the one in the trunk. what's the benefit?

 

the tank in the trunk plus the fabrication to mount and fill it cost 1/4 of the cost of 2 replacement tanks. plus its road legal so thats a bonus too.

 

i prefer the chrome and rubber bumpers as well original fuel system but boy those wheel well flares look amazing and the restorative body work looks great. very cool to see one of these series refreshed from the metal up again! great job! nice lines

 

Car is home now just need to crack out the dslr and take some picks






Here's the car on the way home

 

*Very* *Nice*!!
Luv that stripe!
It looks a little high in front though.

I like it. The finish looks very good indeed. I am contemplating how to widen the rear wings on my S1 when I have the body done. I would like to use the OEM creases in the wings and just cut and fill the gap.

 

I love waking up to these kinds of surprises

 

BLOW IT OFF!! what ever you do don't brush it. Blow with a garden blower, then rinse. Can't have scratches on new paint. (unless I am looking at it wrong and they aren't glass shards, but marks in the paint). I can just imagine the words, spoken and otherwise.

 

Slick!


I thought I "invented" the leaf blower idea for drying a car after a nice wash!!
Guess not??? Another, I snoozed and lost"!!


I have a pair of scratchless dust brushes. Although my car looks good, it's paint is over 30 years old. They've not hurt it.


Or, miladies feather duster???


Or, just shop air, via the compressor.


Or, the shop vac, either way???


Or let it cure some more before you do anything???


Who the h.... busted the widow????
