These windscreens have those tiny heating wires in them, allowing you to eliminate the internal heating, and still be able to de-mist the windscreen.

Yes sir, thats what I got for mine. I haven't wired it up yet but its in. The only difference we found is the windscreen is for a UK car and is approx 5mm shorter than the Japanese one that I took out. Maybe that is not a problem for cars from europe.

They dont list them on the site as they are only done when enough people request them (I guess to guarantee that what is made is sold). Drop them a mail (Chaps name is Ricky Evans) and see if they have some in.

Aram's! He stopped by and brought his camera. So thanks to him there are pictures

Len, It might be a good idea to spray some clear lacquer over that blue paint of yours.. I get the impression that these metallic paints are not very good at repelling water, and it will look way different than the outside without clearcoat (trust me, it makes the paint look 10x better when you do it right).

I know Ivan. Already on the list but I do a full clearcoat spray afther I am done. (or else you will see some lines)

No thanks m8!

Car is looking good, can't wait to see it painted.

small update. Done some more work on the car. I sprayed the engine bay and door styles. The outside of the car will be done in the paint shop. But this is just some detail work.

[robokill]

there are still some flaws as seen on the pictures but all will be solved before the big respray in the paint shop.

What do I still have to do ?

- Inside of the car (8A9 color)
- Door sills and insides of the doors
- Trunk inside
- Hood inside

Than get a full outside respray and buildup the car.

look good! cant wait till its done

Mine will start in 2 weeks. I will start to take some parts off the car one of this days. Will start from inside rear to front of the car, and then the body to under the car and then paint to red again And everything will be DIY
