August 29, 2007:
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.
September 21, 2007:
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.
