Battered & Bruised (Part 4)
With the shell nearing completion, it's time to start rebuilding the chassis. This has been sprayed in a Ferrari yellow (Giallo Modena) to go with the Kawasaki green & metallic purple on the shell.
With all the extra time spent spraying the shell I thought some custom decals were in order to make this project that bit more special!
The windscreen wipers, sunroof, headlight surrounds & VW badge will be re-sprayed in the same metallic purple as the wheel arches (just for that extra bit of pimping)!
The original windscreen was snapped and I was going to replace this with a new one but with this being a 'restoration' I was thinking of trying to re-use the original one somehow!
As with all the M/B's I restore I like to keep the original design but modify the colour scheme and make each one unique in it's own right...

Spray with flat white undercoat first and yellow will cover easily, and stick better.
