Turned out really nice. What is left on this car to get it finished?

Thanks Christian.

All that’s left is everything.
I kid of course, but sometimes it feels like that. Over the course of the winter, it’ll be a virtual repeat of last year with the emphasis on completing the same work on the driver’s side door and fender. The hood will need a little attention too, but most of that will be stripping all the old paint off.

Other than that, the AstroRoof will need to be revisited and the old seal reinstalled, but that should wrap up the bulk of the work. Once all those things are addressed, the car will need to be stripped down to its bare bones and receive a full block sanding in 220, 320, 400 and 600, but that should go fairly quickly providing there’s not a ton of reworking the bodywork and repriming.

Then paint! I’m aiming for it to hit the booth sometime around late spring next year.

I thought it was my computer but guess it might be a site thing with Giphy. It's hit & mostly miss on being able to view them in a thread post.

Thanks Mike!
I’ll be trying my best to make that happen, it’ll be a bit of a race against the clock to get it done before dark, but if it takes a little extra time, then so be it. Don’t wanna rush it at this stage just for the sake of a couple pictures.

Thanks Brian, it’s very much appreciated!
I’m a mere mortal as well, I think there was just a little luck on my side that night. Doesn’t matter, I’ll take it, especially after all the struggles I’ve been through with this trim lately.
It just feels great to be able to close this chapter finally and put it behind me.

Now maybe I can get back to concentrating on the larger panels again.
Thanks for the praise.

So much WIN!!! Awesome work as always man.
