Repaint progress

Just wanted to post some pics of my 83 pininfarina project. Mechanically in reasonable shape, but the paint had weathered on all the horizontal and some vertical surfaces.

Just after I bought it

All that is left is to reattach the roof at the rear, door handles, and window trim. And the rear view mirrors. And the front spoiler. Crap, there's more to do than I thought. Then on to the interior
