*Update*

A LOT of work was done on the car today. The car is now sanded and ready for paint. Just have to sand the last bondo tomorrow.

I also sandblasted the engine bay after the fire. I thought it was much more work, but it wasn't so bad after all.

I put primer on all the inner arches and the backend of the car.




Before I closed the garage for tonight I sprayed the last layer of paint on the wheels.

*Update*

Last night I sprayed the last layer of bondo. Going to sand this today and the car is then ready for paint tomorrow.
I got two days off at work now so I will get a lot done

More chrome trim is installed on the dash. Around the speedo.





Did some more "color coding"





And another little Køstom "thing"....




Hmmm.... what's happening..??




I give you.... the Apple ashPod




Of course in the same rust red color. It is a PERFECT fit inside the ashtray.
Had to do some minor modifications to make it fit.

The 60Gb ashPod'en will be connected to a 4-channel amp and a hidden front system and a subwoofer.

Worked on the car the hole day and I will start shooting primer tomorrow morning.

Before I quit tonight I painted and assembled my steering wheel.




Stay tuned!
