PAINT, PARTS, PHOTOS!!!

On Thursday I got the '75 back from the paint booth. As stated in my earlier post, they pulled a dent above the grill, painted the front end with the new air dam, shaved the front side markers, sprayed the sunroof and resealed it, and finally sprayed the left side of the car since there was some rust that needed to be taken care of. I am stoked with how good the car looks! Saturday, my friend DJ and I cleaned up all of the chrome trim pieces on the car and detailed the engine bay with some heavy duty engine de-greaser. Saturday was pretty fun cleaning up the little details on the car and having some spare time to get work done :)

Onto some pics!

Before moving onto pictures of the paint, I want to remind you all what the car looked like when I bought it:

I am very pleased with the progress I have made with the car. Later this summer I will be doing new carpet and putting in the nice e30 sport seats I picked up a few weeks ago. Then probably add some audio and lower the car :)
