Scott-The car and engine look great. Please make sure your front fender lip openings are rolled before the Ceylon is sprayed.
hey Drew ... they are fully rolled - completely out of the way. Brendan will be putting in decamber plates while everything is undone as well.
Maybe do it old school. Paint it Ceylon then a light undercoat as it would have been done when new for protection.
well, its time to start updating this thread. car has been home for a couple of weeks. i have started by trying to find all of the (many) things that have gone missing at the paint shop. i want to thank @TomHom for helping me find many things.
the first thing was to get the car in the garage and swap on the 15" OZ alpina style wheels (thanks @Stevehose ) and put the car on go-jack skates so i can easily move it around. the next thing was to clean all of the paint shop dust off of the paint - a good waterless bath with Griots products ... the hood, trunk, air dam, windshields and rocker panels are still at the paint shop - it will make a side trip to get all of those installed.
the first real work has been to start with exterior trim - belt trim, rear lights and center panel are on ... the polished trim looks great against the ceylon. B pillar + sill trim are on, door hardware is in progress ... that's a learning process of what has to go on first and finding / connecting all of the right parts. in the process of cleaning / polishing / selecting all of the window / door trim pieces. already cleaned + greased the window motors / most of the hardware.
the floors / tranny tunnel are mostly clean of the insulation and tar - the self-etching primer has started on the passenger side (a little more final cleaning is needed on the drivers side).
will start posting some pics this week
