And after 1 hour.
Yes, worth the effort: those parts are gtting hard to get, especially in good or reasonable condition. It is coming on nicely: wish I could say the same of mine |

Hi Thomas I am looking forward to see pictures of your car when it is ready to be painted (about half a year?). I have owned my car about 25 years, so this have been a very long prosject.

Here are some new pictures from my Fastback work last weeks. I have painted the engine room again. The first painting was not ok. I have put in some parts on the car and started making new carpets. this was much more difficult than i thought before I started.
