First paint is on. macadamia brown? hm...it is a challange, to get the color "right" on photos.
Needs a wet sanding as always after the first layer of clear coat .

Days ago, I stripped of the paint. Now, after a week of work on the new color with more time for drying the different layers of paint, I'm more happy now with the paint. I took black primer and it looks darker now.
I'll attache a picture after the weekend.
The body needs a final layer of clear.

Thank you!
I am going straight ahead to the finish. Two changes I had to made.
Remove the "chronograph area" on the dashboard (repaint the dashboard) and converted from automatic gearbox to stickshift.
And I started to assemble the body.

Here it is. While working in the Final assembling, I built the specs like the rear US-Bumper and exhaust pipes.
At the end, it fitted very well. It came out as I wished, I'm really pleased with the result.
