Final touch ups!


I had a pretty busy work week and didn't have a chance to stop in since Monday when I'd stopped by to drop off the new speakers for the front. I didn't stay too long as Frank looked pretty frustrated at having to replace the brake lines. Apparently the old ones broke when he was trying to reconnect them to the new master cylinder...oh well, new lines! The biggest surprise today was showing up at Bero and seeing that "red" was no longer on it's usual perch and that it was nowhere to be seen on the premises! Andy said that it was now back with Laki for any paint touch ups, colour sanding and final polishing. Very exciting stuff! It was great to see the car wearing it's proper BBS "shoes"...really completes the look. Having a windshield and seats also helps! There are a few side molding and trim pieces that need to be attached, but only once all the paint sanding/polishing is done. Once it's back in my care , I'll be putting the refurbished emblems back on. But...I won't be picking it up for another 2 weeks. The whole family is off to France for a holiday on Monday so there is not enough time to get things organized to get "red" home before then. Besides, Andy and Frank want the car back so they can test drive it and make any necessary adjustments before signing off on it. Stefanie will have a nice treat when we come home from Europe.
