Just skimmed through your entire thread Hugo and man you put in ALOT of work on that 181. I might have missed it but what color are you going with and why was the entire thing basically covered in Bondo Shocked ? Keep it up!

Thanks for your words EXJAY.

Today we (me and two friends) put some 20 hours of work on the car... Maybe this sunday afternoon I put the photos... The car have allready some paint on him... And for your information, is the original one, the RAL 6014 (olive yellow of the army, as original).

The car was all covered by bondo by the german owner... some bad patches and holes are te reason... Now he have also some bondo, but less than before... and just to trace any imperfections and "kill them"... Wink Lots of dust... Laughing

Ok... the right thing to do, should be with tape on both sides... but that will be a over restored car... and I want only a original look...
