Easy tigger, I'm not in charge of the paint shop and all I can do is wait. But all I can say is SOON SOON!!

coming together nice dude!

i one upped you and relocated the fuse box inside hehe

Keep up the good work!

I wanted to move the fuse box into the cabin but I said hey, I don't wanna break my head with the wiring. Plus I actually like the look it gives in the bay.

After every year in Montreal, winter seems to slowly start vanishing which means warm weather, sun, cars and broads :) These are pictures from Saturday afternoon at the shop on a beautiful day. I rolled her into the sunlight so she can finally get some sun. The color is fantastic with sun on it and can't wait to see the whole car outside.

Also got my Hood Joint placed on the rad support. It's fresh from powder coat.

I'd shoot myself the second I dropped a wrench in there.

[DREWHALL]

Me too. Let me know when you want to sell the Azevs.:up:

Car is back in the booth getting prepared for paint. Doors are on. A few dents but very clean without any rust. I was planning on making the rad support removable but sadly it isn't possible. I'll have to have it welded.

Front windshield is out and some plastic was laid down.
Found an old personal steering at the shop that was in rough shape but the leather was still clean on it. Clean up and paint. New steering for this year.

Good progress going on, keep it up!

Love that last aired out pic, wheel fitment looks perfect. Seeing the body work makes me wish I was getting my car painting.

Im hoping this is the last update I do before it's finally painted. This was a very expensive week for me as the aftermarket AKA jobber fenders I got a while turned out to be really FULL OF Shhhh... The lines of the car did not match up at all and that made the hood off etc etc. So I had no choice but to purchase OEM fenders from the dealer. Sadly I do not live in Cali where used OEM fenders are everywhere! Also got a new OEM valance at the same time.

The holes on the trunk were made for the IS lip, looks good. My painter says that it SHOULD be painted this weekend. Lets find out.

Hell yeah, I bet you're excited.

I went through the same thing with fenders. I bought six fenders before I found two, that after being blocked down, I thought were 'good enough' to use. In hindsight, I should have went with new ones. So I think you made the right choice.

1+ I got lucky and bought a bare metal fender from a member on here. Those fenders are gorgeous! cannot wait to see the car painted.

Well this is just awesome, just read through the whole thing. Can't wait to see the whole car painted.
