Hey, you're doing a great job and I admire your tenacity and dedication to your project! It reminds me of the first car I did many years ago. I bought it from my uncle and it was very rusty. I learned a ton by working on that car! If you continue with how you're doing things it will come out great, keep it up! This makes me want to take on anther project.  Thanks! I've already learned a lot, and it's not even done  |

It has been a long time again since I posted an update. I was busy with my thesis until the end of June, so not much has happened till then.
I have been working on the car this summer tho. Most of the electricity is in as are the taillights and headlights.
Unfortunately I can not put the lovely colour coded headlight rings on jet, because I don't have the bolts jet.

I have been struggling with the fender beading tho. It seems to be too long, holes are not in the right place.
Can anyone tell me how this is supposed to be installed?

Thanks Jeffrey and Glauco! I do have bad news tho. The guy that is going to do the upholstery has so much work, that my seats are going to take at least 3 months. So I am going to try to get everything else done in 3 months, except lowering and cool rims. After homologation is when stance and cool rims will come. |

great car and nice colour choice!
regarding the fender beadings: The precut ones do not fit perfectly when you buy them. The end in the top of your picture has to be on the front end of the front fenders / the rear end of the rear fenders. It is layed around the corner of the fenders. Best thing would be to have a look at a car with orignal beadings.
Maybe it would be a good idea to try colour matching beadings, i think that will perfectly match the coloured head light rings. There are several dealers that sell coloured beadings.

Put the beading in a bucket of hot water before you fit them - they are not flexible enough otherwise. Great looking car too!

Thanks guys!
The precut beadings didn't fit at all, so I returned them and used the uncut ones. I also fitted the locks off the doors and the big door rubbers.

3 Months since the last time I posted, some progress has been made in that period.
The exterior is almost done except for the plate underneath the bonnet, the windscreen and windscreen wipers.
The interior needs the front part of the carpets and the seats need to be assembled. The dashboard also needs finishing.
And some other small details.
Cool wheels and lowering will happen when the car drives and is registered.
All of this talk is worthless without pics off course, so here they are:

It looks more and more like a car Lowering and nice wheels will only go on after the car has been registered and passed inspection.
