Well I just got a call from the painter.
They had some delays this week but he said most of the panels are done....so I'm invited to take a look tomorrow and to put some parts back on... its getting pretty exciting now I am sooo curious how the paint and finish turns out...Appearantly the bumpers were a lot of work though (as expected) and they went back 3 times for primer and sanding ...I expected worse news though....they have to deal with my learning curve of backyard fiberglassing but so far so good I hope..I'm gonna check it tomorrow!

Heres my daily driver this week:

tubular frame, 28" wheels, 1/140hp and environmental friendly....and all that fresh air when driving it

Fie Ro.. I swear... I love to hate you.. I am just wizing myself right now just thinking about how its going to look.. I have said this before, I am not that biggest fan of fastbacks, but yours just makes me wonder... I hope it turns out 1000X better then you think. You just need to move to North America now.. haha

Spy pics!.....
So today was the first time I saw the paint and finish of some of the parts....WOOHOOO!!! Its a great job theyre doing, no doubt! I mounted the hoods, taillights and fenders today, it is a gunmetal color with a hint of olive green and its just what I had in mind its hard to capture the color on camera but here you go:

I am sure now, I want to replace the lights for something less shiny sometime soon:

Wow. All i can say is wow, thats going to look amazing. Love the choice of colour, I've been wanting to paint my car a very similar colour for the longest time. Can't wait to see it with front and rear fascia's back on and the differen't tail lights. You must feel like a little kid on christmas eve waiting to get it back

Absolutely go with less shiny on the taillights.... What you show as a sample I think is perfect! Watching this thread for quite sometime, it's better than a suspense novel! Can't wait for each day to see what kind of plot twist there has been.... This is a show winner for sure!

Yeah I guess its a bit like a novel, ..I just think its more fun to share little progress than keeping it secret untill the end... With this little "diary" I hope to encourage people to do their thing their own way...and to be honest, the support from this forum kept me going too! Thanks... These guys were working on the bumpers and trim pieces today:



They feel smooooth!( my bodywork pieces ) I could never have done it like that. They put a lot of work into it. More on this story coming up..one of these days..

Bump for an insane looking fiero, and alot of hard work
Fie Ro OCT 23, 02:18 PM
Did some work on the decklid vents. I decided its just easier to paint them than more and more wetsanding. But first getting the grills ready:




I hope its not too much bling but we'll see...
