Yes. During the long time spend on the body work, I purchased some mechanical parts and now that I waited to raise money to paint the car , I got the chance to mount them on the car. :D

At last, after several months , I was able to start the preparation for paint. Of course the main work is done by a friend of mine who is a professional painter.

And finally the spraying. At the start of the paint process I was a little sad because I couldn't afford a more professional paint job but at the and I was very pleased whit what it came out. :mrgreen:
