done and done
extremely happy with the result, could not have hoped for anything better!

the ashtray lid is a bit of a nuisance with the fragile border and scratched surface but i don't care at this point. it and the left ac vent could use a repaint in the future, however their state is so fragile that i don't think it's worth the effort.
all in all i am so happy with the result and at night it looks BADASS!

on to the hood/boot struts, and only the motor for the headlight left

 

That looks clean! Any other plans for the car?

 

I'd 'jimmy' that ashtray lid with a black marker for a temp fix.

Great job on all the progress so far!

 

thank you, i really appreciate your motivation all along mate
- right now the car needs hood and boot struts.
- later on i will have to remove the front bumper to fix the motor of the right-hand-side headlight (it does not go up electronically, i am guessing something is jammed)
- will have to also take out the rear left wheel to address the cooling fan (can hear a sound from it and that is not cool for summer)
- 85% set on yellow calipers
- major service kit is on the list but i need to finish a clutch job on the 360 first

dude i have so many "to do" stuff it's really overwhelming

thanks, yeah i will probably try to do just that the ashtray lid AND the right-hand-side ac vent (the one i broke and superglued) could use a touch up

 

Looking good, better than new

 

You always have something to do with your cars bro!
At least it's not a gear-changing problem
Yellow calipers = yes!
After the car is done you better make a little photoshoot! You owe us that much

 

tadaaaa
and there you have it, ladies

 

My god....your interior looks so much better now. It's like new now!

 

haha thanks JT, it better be after the hours and effort put in
i think i'm done with the interior, the ac vents will not be repainted nor will the mirror switches + door levers

i have to juggle a few more cars and get stuff done before affording a day to drop the 355 off to get it detailed in and out looking forward to it

 

I'm a little late to this thread but if you need anything else refinished try sticky no more. I haven't used him but have heard ones that have say they were very happy.
