I installed the
inside, but the gearshift lever looked too thick.
So I
replaced it with a headed pin.
The
internal tub is finished.
September
08, 2007:
I applied rubbing
compound on the body, but due to inhomogenities in the paint, some
shades
occured and eventually, after revealing the base plastic at some
points,
I gave up the idea to go on with this paint and decided to paint the
body
yellow.
So, the compulsory
route was the brake hydraulic bath....
September
14, 2007:
I applied the
yellow paint, but then realized that this place had to appear seamless
when finished; and I should have glued and puttied the parts
beforehand..
Well, I glued them now and applied putty, then sanded smooth and
repainted...
September
16, 2007:
I painted the
body over again and applied polishing.
The
inner masking plates for the hood
louvres were unrealistic.
So I
cut strips from a business card,
painted flat black inside and glued in place, both for the front and
rear
hoods.

The front lower
panel was moulded separate from the body and did not look good because
the bumper could not hide it.
September
24, 2007:
So I glued the
part to the body, filled with putty and sanded, then repainted.
October 01,
2007:
I began BMF application
at the rear window. It did prove to be tough!
October 05,
2007:
I completed the
BMF application all around.
