Getting a little sun.
« on: August 14, 2019, 22:29:14 »
Finally got to roll my car outside for the first time since the body rolled in on a trailer.  Headed to the body shop tomorrow to fix a dent in the fender top where a control arm fell off the garage shelf.  I work on a ship and when it gets rough the rule is, “Nothing ever falls off the floor.”  The same rule now applies in my garage.

that car looks a lot more stripped for a fender top repair.

Or did you have it all painted, and then the accident happened?

Oh man.

This is going to be a great car once put back together!   Those alloys really work with the body color of the car.  Amazing how contemporary the body design has remained.
