Very cool, glad to see it coming together. Paint looks great, it fits the car even better than I expected.

thanks...overall it is ok.

Im Jealous, been wanting to do this to mine for years. But I have to be satisfied with plastdip for now

urs looks nice...next time around are you going to paint it ?

Love that color, car looks awesome. Are you putting the panels back on? Can't wait to see this done.

thanks man...yes I will be...sure dont feel like doing though. lol

So jealous!

:)

We're the windows taken out of the doors?

rears, yes...fronts no, and that was a mistake...one window tint will have to be replaced.

Your car have a new life, congrats!!!

thank you.

no R bumper? :(

no, i don't like the R bumper...reminds me of a snow plow...I use 960 lip...it looks great to me.

Came out great. I love the color.

I still can't get over the interior and engine bay sanding mess though. Hope you got that figured out. I'm sure you will have it looking pristine in no time though.

I like that wire rack of yours. I need one of those.

thanks man...you and i both and that's after cleaning...uhmmm yeah , I would love to dump nice and full 5 gallon bucket of sanded paint dust in his car and bay and air blow it everywhere...maybe you can come over and will go there and do it...lolol

Really nice how the paint came out, always happy to see an 850 resurrected in the states. I live in our fourth largest city, and haven't seen one on the road in months.

they are becoming rare...when you find them in JY they are mostly trashy...thanks

Good job, looks great. Very well done. You said: "thanks...overall it is ok.", what's wrong besides the crazy amount of dust ?

workmanship of prep is pooooor...he said he still needs to buff it all out but he might be redoing some of the stuff...he's already redone spoiler all trim 3 door handles...so we'll see how it looks after a buff.

started putting some stuff back...not much but ...rear windows, realigned all doors, front bumper... here it the front.... :)

Urgh, don't let that jack slip....

Looks great dude, nice choice of color. Honestly never thought an 850 could pull it off but you're proving me wrong. :tup:

thanks man.

Glad you didnt paint your trim

me too.

The 960 lip looks better than I imagined it would. Looks like the whole thing is turning out nicely.

thanks

Great color. Looks awesome :tup:

thanks Oreo931. :)

looks great. not sure about the roof if it's dust or not, but looks like the paint may need to be cut in and polished. looks fantastic otherwise.

This thread delivers.

thank man...it still needed to be buffed.

Love the color, nice choice Dougy!

Thank you Andy.
