Title: finally there
Post by: pablo_o2 on July 17, 2006, 13:58:28

After more than a year in restoration I can finally start to rebuild my pagode.I changed its color from DB 050 white to DB 180 silver. The body is restored to the highest standard with only original parts.I also eliminated the sidemarker lights thus giving it a finer look to my opinion. I thought to show you some previews of the fresh paintjob...

I made pics of the entire body restoration and am planning to continu making pics of the different fases of the restoration for my own or others interest.
Next step is the engine and front and rearaxle, but man there is so much to do I think it will certainly take me another year or so; We'll see
