No car.... But yesterday I stopped by at the painter, and things are really progressing  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:

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 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:
