Judging by the way the camera flash is shining on the paintwork, that paint is very glossy :lol:

Looking good Lowlight :)

Thanks Dutch Diver there is still a long way to go. The plan was to drive it to figs farm, but yes everything seems to take longer and happens slower.

Thanks Fig for the sunvisor, much appreciated. Got some tail light lenses from callooker. Will visit Pro auto tomorrow.
