So I guess I have a bit of time to write a post again. I was recently laid off due to Covid since aerospace has been struggling. The writing was on the wall for a while so I kinda saw it coming. Fortunately, my parents have let me stay with them during the transition and I have been slowly moving everything.

To be honest, not a ton on the car has happened; just some button up here and there now that I have ample free time. The interior was put back together. I installed my Thrash seats, rails, and bought a Nardi Classic 330 as well for a little interior tune up. The headliner isn't really my style but I haven't gotten around to re-wrapping it yet.





I have hated the passenger side of my car for a while since one of the rear wheels had a chipped silver lip instead of bronze. I used some Rustoleum bronze to refinish it which turned out pretty decent. Not a perfect match but not bad.








Another little project I tackled was having the Abflugs painted. Obviously these have been on my mind since I painted the car and since I have so much free time, it felt like the right opportunity.





The paint turned out pretty decent, but there are some pretty bad imperfections in the fiberglass that show through. Im not too worried, the lenses seems to cover 99% of it so Ill survive.

I took these next pictures this morning before making the two hour drive home. Nerve wracking at first but mostly just hot by the end of it. The rear was rubbing a bit which I need to sort out but all and all it performed great.




And here it is back in front of my parent house.




So there it is. The plan is to install the headlights after some curing time. Currently, the car is hanging out in storage until I get a new job. Holla at me if you need a mechanical engineer haha.
