Good job on the paint! That's hard work, believe me I know. I painted mine in my garage and it still needs a ton of work. I look forward to seeing it in person in the next month or two.

lol, that's crazy. I was gonna say it does look like it's coming out pretty good.
nice job.

I actually have a little rust bubble on the actual roof (not sunroof) and looks like I'm going to find a place to cut the bad part out, weld some new metal, then paint before the rest spreads more.

Since you crashed your car.........my price was $900. now that you painted it i can add another $500. since you painted it yourself in your backyard -$250

total selling price to Papsmagu $900+500-250=$1,150.00 Cash............
can't wait to drive in my new Turbo II
