i should have the car back by the end of this week-beginning of next week unless something happens to where the shop has to wait to do something.

i didnt mean to spill the aircraft stripper all over the headlight...and i was being carefull buffing. the dremel was the last resort to try to fix the aircraft stripper accident and that was a bad idea.

alright so...

i started by finishing off the sanding and buffing of the lenses.
as you can see i removed the black on the bottom of the headlight and the black on the edge of the headlight.


then i taped off the lense so i could paint the portions grey that used to be black. this will flow better with the color matched inserts. i used a grey primer that matched pretty decent.




here is how it came out:




i started putting everything back together


for some reason getting the lense back on to the housing has been a bitch because of a slight distortion in the housing from oven baking them. but after some clamps and some wait time it seems to be holding up.

FINAL PRODUCT





and tires are all mounted, balanced, and the wheels are ready to be slapped on the car.


thanks for looking.
