    I only put two coats of clear on it, and in some places it's a bit thin. I'm considering taking it to a professional detailer and seeing what they think, but I have no false hopes.

    This was my first paint job, so lesson learned. Also, this car was always meant to be a driver, it was never meant to be a show queen.

    Please tell me you’re going to wet sand the car. Too much work has been done to leave a finish like that.

    It's not bad, but if I were to do it again, I'd go with something from Massive Lee.

    Booster gasket installed, used some foam I had.

    So, I thought I didn't install the gasket between the master cylinder and the brake booster, turns out I did and it slipped inside the booster somehow, so glad I decided to do this.

    It's a bit folly, the grommet for the clutch master cylinder line can leak.

    I'll wait and see.

    I only had one, but wanted to clean and inspect the sides of the sealing surface, so out it came, and what a fucking bitch to get out.
