Hello guys!
Finally the car is painted.
Thought I should share a picture with you.
It turned out really well.
We changed both wheel arches.
Fixed holes in both wheel wells, floor, boot floor, fabricated a new tow hook and so on.
A lot of work, but it did turn out very nice.
It does sweat a bit of oil, and the cambelt will be done this autumn.
Apart from that only the spoiler switch need to be modified to accomodate the two resistors.
Thanks for all of the support this far!

Very nice work, it does look very good indeed.
Are you planning on reapplying the factory striping?

Actually the striping is there, but I do not like the original choice of colors.Frank schreef:Very nice work, it does look very good indeed.

I gave the painters the responsibility of finding colors that matched better.
So, in the end the result is that the strips is in a different shade of red than the car.
In some angles it almost dissapears, in some angles they almost turn black.
I must say for me, this really made the car look right.
Will take some detail photos of the striping later.

In my case the stripes where very worn and partly gone, so had to decide wether to paint them or use stickers.
The paintshop I used make their own stickers, and they can easily be replaced if they are worn.
So decided to use that instead of paint.
Didn't like the yellow stripe either, so decided to go in a different more subtle color.

You bought a 228 quite recently as well?
You've done a lot on your car! Looks great this far!
