Since restoration started before the "digital era" i have no pictures to show the body repairs. This page starts after the body had been repaired and sandblasted. It will show You the initial paintwork.
The body was primed with 3 coats of epoxy-primer, then 3 coats of primer-filler with a tell-tale coat to show minor dents when blocking it.
Then the underside was coated with a rubber-like sound-deadening
compound. After that every surface, inside and out, vas given first 2 coats of sealer, then 3 good coats of solid 2-pack polyurethane lacquer, followed by 4 coats of clear to provide that deep showcase look and a very durable finish.

Next up was installation of various bits and pieces on the car.
As a rule, all the parts were either replated or powdercoated.
There are quite a lot of details, even on a relatively simple car like this.

The car only had 65000 km on the clock, so the engine and gearbox were in very good condition. But the old valves and head were not suited for the unleaded petrol of today, so it had to be a complete overhaul on these as well. Why not, it´s only money... And it´s no fun installing an old engine in an otherwise "new" car...
So, new valves and seats, the head was taken down some 3 mm, the crank ground to 010 with new bearings, linings honed and new piston rings, a new Swiftune SW-5 camshaft, and of course a new oil pump.
Also it was balanced and had a new clutch installed.
The gearbox only needed a good cleaning and new gaskets and seals. Prior to reassembly, the aluminium parts were blasted with glass beads to regain the "new" look and feel. The special "rubberized" drive joints were replaced with new ones.
