The line is perfect, the door is just no closed.





We have to do something when we are waiting.



The last pics are with clearcoat. Ill take some more tomorow when its dried and outside.

I am a VERY hapy boy right now. Thank you Henning for using you easter vecation to pant my car.

The rear bumper is getting redone beccause the gun f***ed up. Then im also painting my rollcage in kandy red.

What do you think? This is my first project car, and i have done and bought everything by my self.(im only 17, so i get my driving license in november).

More pictures on my homepage.

Now i only need some tires, and its done. (and offcorse more hp)..

Joachim

never was a big fan of the 2 tone, but you pulled it off. looks sweet, the rear quarter look good also. your lucky to have access to such a large paint booth, lots-o-room.

Paint looks really good. Nice job on all the work!
