Looks great! With the fresh paint and molded body I would HIGHLY suggest wrapping the car in Xpel Ultimate PPF to protect your investment.

Slowly coming together. Just fitted the bumper. Aligning the damn headllight took the longest. What a crappy design!

Just waiting on more plastic/rubber pieces....


Anyone know if there is a company that sells brake rebuild kits. I want to take these apart and get them powdercoated.

My molding is show it's age...how hard was it to remove the front windshield molding and the belt molding that wraps around the rear quarter window to the front drivers window.

Nice build! Wish I had the skills to do that.

Thanks

If you're careful, it's easy. There is a metal retainer around the window(#3) and the rubber gasket(#4, the part you see and wears) goes on top of it. If you pull it wrong, the metal retainer comes out with it. If this happens, you have to pull the windshield so be careful. Use WD40.

The one that wraps around the quarter glass is installed with rivets from the factory. The moldings are expensive. The quarter glass needs to come out. It's not hard for me cause I own a body shop but for DIY, it might be a little complicated. I would get a shop to do this.
