Awesome progress. Looking at the spare tire well and rear valance, was your car originally bronze, or were they grafted on from a parts car? Here is a day 1 shot of mine, from 1995.
No, the color you are looking at is the original primer on the nos trunk floor pan that I installed back then, the valence is the original one painted ember gold.
Man you have done a lot with that car!! Do you have Caltracks on it??
