Once again, the car is on its way to the painter, so time will show what color it will be ![Wink](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

No car.... But yesterday I stopped by at the painter, and things are really progressing ![Smiley](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I wasn't able to take a picture, as they were working on it even on a Saturnday. Tonight I spent a few hours cleaning up the garage, and what a mess.... It will take a few more nights before I can take a picture for you. But now it will be only "clean" jobs left, so I was even planning on painting the walls again, but I will see if I have time

yesterday the painter called and informed me that he had found a problem...
On one of the doors, there were cracks where the glass enters the door:

he didnt want to just cover this in bondo, as this would show up immediately, so I took the door home, and welded the cracks:

The painter will grind it down and tidy it up again. I had to give the door back to him this morning, as he is going to apply the filler today ![Smiley](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Actually quite reassuring that he came back to me with this issue, and not just covered it up...

I also had a look at the wheels , and cleaned up one of them, to get a feeling for what I want to do.
I started off by mediablasting the spokes, and I went over the lip with wet 400 and 800 grip paper. I will fully polish the lip.
I kind of like this "raw" look:
