Total of three coats of red applied. Pictures show them to be a little orange, however it's a bit darker than what it looks like.

This is how it looks after one white, three red and three transparent coating...

Image

Image

Image

Image

A couple of days after, new seals and rubbers installed!!!!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

AAAAAANNNNDDDDD!!!!!! VOILA!!!!!!

Image

Image

Image

Image

And some more with the insulation and sunroof liner.

Image

Image

Could this sunroof look any newer??????

Wind deflector installed

Image

Finally all the floor sound proof and heat insulator installed.

Image

So this is it so far.... I'll be sending the car shortly to the electrics guy.... Will be using the original harness and rebuild whatever that needs to.

After this will be working on the both front and rear shocks and springs. Maybe coilovers..... still thinking....... I want to lower it just a bit and still make the ride comfortable.

Thank you all!!!! I'm really happy with the project and how it's turning out to be.

I feel that I'm not that far now..... of course, many things still to work on and money to save, but definitely extremely happy to see the progress.

My bad Thomas..... basically nobody knows this car in Costa Rica, so basically I'm going blind here except for your help and the guys from US. I honestly didn't know that part goes black.....

Can you send me a picture of yours???

Anyway, I still have to paint the windshield moldings black so I can correct that. I want the car to look as original as possible.
