Hi friends,

Here I come again to show some updates ... because I'm on vacation Z is growing with another rhythm, but still go slow ... Mr. Victory is enjoying holidays ...

In the last 3 days I have cleaned more pieces than in a year of restoration !!! bolts, nuts, washers ... clean, polish, paint ... the luck is that as I was the one who disassembled the car and got everything labeled... in the midst of my disorganization is not going badly...so far…

At the moment I am waiting for the pieces of the galvanized process, they must arrive on Wednesday and unexpectedly I have to buy some pieces, I am missing two details that possibly the car no longer had, the central plate of the license plate and two black aluminium scuff plates that are in the inside the car. Possibly they were removed by the previous owner.

The mechanics should come in January and until then we will build what we can !!!

Let's go to the photos:


After a cleaning and a polishing were very good! After it was applied with new screws and new rubbers, the old pieces were miserable.

In this photo we can see the missing part ... Let’s see if I can find one quickly!

I also installed the windscreen wiper motor. Tough task, I never thought it would take that long. I was afraid to scratch the car ... eheheeh

[ img ]

The door locks were painted in the old car colour, I still thought of having zinc, but chrome is funnier and the result is very curious ... I like it !!!

Here already applied ...

The Z hook was in need of a good turn ...

They were like this ...

Cleaning the clutch pump, and polishing. I'm new to this, but it turned out well !!!

Here it is already on the place...

I started by putting some pieces inside ... the "dogleg" already there! There are a few details missing ... especially stretching the vinyl ... let’s see if I can do it myself !!!

I put the first symbols ...

I had to take out the spoiler, but the result was very good!

Here is the original color ... it was black ... but it should turn to grey ... I've been cleaning it for more than 30 minutes ...

during the day I was just treating some pieces and going to the car on the next visit .. maybe Sunday..

I hope you continue to like the result, I would like to finish it before the end of January ... but it will be very hard.

Regards
Mário
