Ibought this berlina turbo 2 months ago now i have started to respray it in original colour(marlin blue)in 2 pac. I have been on holidays since the 18th dec and her is my progress, so far i have bare metalled the bonnet, bootlid, front guards, front nosecone and top half of doors as the paintwork on bottom half only needed rubbing back for primer.[IMG] [/IMG] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
