Wait until it’s sanded and buffed. It will shine!
New bulbs for the front, sidelights and indicator.
I ordered these a while ago after I saw the original lights are looking tired, the yellow film I had on the light is almost transparent. So needed Amber bulbs these are easy to get from Rock auto, but not in UK, saw these led ones on ebay. So could give them a go. They were cheap. Since that desision I have new turn signal enclosures from Rock auto and orange bulbs, so now I have a choice of filiment bulbs or Led. I may need a resistor for indicators to go the correct speed. I have done this before when I done the UK light conversion.

Vinyl stickers arrived today. Just in time to get them on before the top clear coat.

If it were me, I wouldn’t bother. But that’s me.
Fully functional go faster strips 
. Makes it a little more unique, and separates me from the rest.
Its no everyone's cup of tea, as you don't see many other TA/s with this done.

I don't normaly commenet on paint jobs but I thought in this case I would suggest some subtle black graphiks to complement the stunning metalic purple coloor chosen by Dan. I think the white graphics would overpower the base colour. Just my opinion.

I personally would have gone with some ghost flames.
My mini TA is done the same colour now.

That the one I sold you?
No, This is the one i had in the car for years that I put on the dash at some shows.
The one you sold me is in the box with the other ones. Which reminds me, I must get a display cabinet for them.
Some photos from the visit to the workshop on the way back after seeing the Flying Scottsman at Swanage
Not far off being a pickup, lol.

Are you hoping to have her back for the season opener??
Yes. When speaking to them yesterday, they are still saying it will be ready by the weekend.
I have entered it in to WheelsDay calling it a red TransAm, hopefully they still let me in. Must change the log book too.
Drove near the work shop again today on the way back from Swanage but didn't pop in. I will check Facebook later to see if they have updated photos.
Photos from today.
