Blondie gets a make-over - part 3


Blondie is back on the road. Last night Steve buffed the paint and it looks great. A couple of small imperfections, but more than good enough for a daily driver. The door trim was painted last night and will probably be applied today. I also cleaned the trunk and installed the new Phatbox - it's great to have tunes again.

Next week I hope to give the whole car a good cleaning and waxing to make it look new again. Also, I hope to install the new headlights, once the headlight protectors arrive.

Blondie gets a make-over - part 2


Blondie's transformation continues. This time Steve masked and painted the car. The car turned out very well, even without a paint booth. It will need some sanding and buffing to make it look really good, but it's already much better than it was. He also has the trim to repair and paint, but most of that should be done tonight. Then the reassembly process can begin - I can hardly wait to see how she looks with fresh paint and a new set of R32 headlights (Thanks Mike!).

Blondie gets a make-over - part 1


Blondie finally gets a well deserved make-over. Steve Perryman has been working to get Blondie back in tip-top shape. Here is a picture after she had her dent hammered out, body filler applied and a coat or two of sandable primer. Tonight he plans to wet-sand and prepare the car for paint. If everything goes well, then she should see paint on Friday.
