A beautiful looking car and a great color combination. The light ivory cars seem to look pale yellow in photographs, a very delicate color. Well worth the time and effort.

What’s wrong with our dank and overcast weather 😂

Anyway, with global warming we’ll be as hot as California soon!!

To be serious for a moment, great job, well done! You must be very pleased with the outcome and proud of your achievements

Such a great factory-correct looking job! Did you also do the hardtop?
Why not keep it?
