Looks like some tricky bodywork getting the panels to line up etc. Silver seems to be the colour of choice (I would have preferred my car a different colour but don't want to lose the patina), couldn't interest you in a green?
What wheels is this thing going to have Camilo?

P.S. Loving the progress, gahhh I need to get better at doing bodywork like this. Looking forward to summer. I wonder if that green colour is the same as brendans car was originally. Oh and im pretty sure brendan and I picked up a pair of rear armrests for you, there where in ok-ish condition

brendan paid for them and has them at his house so send him a pm foam around the mounting has cracked a bit (as if someone has lent on it too hard) on one of them, but the exterior of them looks fine from memory

The car is almost ready to be painted, the color will be silver, I wanted white but my wife insisted and couldn't say no....

Could always get wheels from japan should get on these!!

Want the colour code of a nice clean silver? Lol anywho, getting the gaps right does take a bit of time and effort (more so when you have replaced panels of the body like you have!!!!). there was one gap on my car that I just couldnt get right (and still havent), even with shimming the door hinge (dodgey lol) I stripped and repaired all the panels on my car and to get the bodyline down the side right I used masking tape and blocking up against the line from the top, removing the tape and placing it on the bottom of the line and blocking down, when the car was in primer. also longboarded the car and reprimed. In spots my car has plenty of skims of body filler but you would never know it, you are lucky you got new panels!

looking good mate keep it up. hope to see it painted soon

ps. the colour code is mercedes DB775 iridium silver
pss. I always wanted to see what a coupe would be like in that colour

greatwork camilo you get alot of satisfaction doing it right! I'm doing it myself and love every bit of time I get to work on my coupe. dont stress about the coupe in qld. you seem to have a much better canvas to work with! I'm in qld a concidered this vehicle when it was advertised previously but really to far gone in my opinion.

Gorgeous wheels!!

But the truth is that due to the shipping prices, Japan and Australia are my last options to import wheels from, that is why I'm looking for some Enkei 92 in USA.


Than you very much! I wish I had the skills, knowledge and the space to work on my car, but I don't and everything depends on other people ... That coupe in Qld seemed to be ok.
