Body work / paint job

Early 1998, the paint job.
I'll only do an external paint, for several reasons:

• the orignal interior paint looks like new, even it's 39 years old!
• I like this interior patina look...
• an moreover, I can't afford a full body work! 😉

Inside of the opening will get its black coat as well (VW (Schwartz L41) : hoods, doors...
The only real metalworking will b the reparation of a rip on the front hood, which is usual on those models : there were only one single stand to keep the hood opened, which you need to unlock to close the hood. If someone tries to force-close it... You got a rip on the hood's side.
The body shop did a great work here, you can barely see the repair.

Here is the result after several layers of black!
Yummy, I love this bumper-less dragster look...

Voila, I still need to give back the fuel tank and wheels their original Pearl White (PerlWeiss L87) color (I hate the current ugly vanilla-ish color). But I can already start putting the thing back together!
