Things are slowly coming together! I have had quite a repaint saga on the hood. I basically forgot how to paint since last August and have now painted the hood a total of 4 times. This last time was going well but I ran out of paint during a coat and went to mix another batch in a hurry. Got back to start spraying again and forgot to replace the lid on the gun, and SPLAT all over the hood. Got it sanded down (again) and now need to get more 400 to scuff the rest, and spray it for (hopefully) the last time. Also going to reshoot the trunklid as I had a metallic stripe on the very back of it.

I also got the hideaway setup fully installed. I did it without the bumper brackets being in place, forgetting that the actuator rod goes through the bumper brackets. It is all reworked but now the bumper weighs enough I don't want to carry it over by myself.

Rear seat & belts are installed, still waiting on one bucket to be recovered as it needed new seat foam too. Have to pull the rear bumper and put new taillight bulb sockets in since the old ones are shot.
