My '69 Berlina has been painted! Finally after six months the car has been striped down and painted a beautiful coat of AR330 Space Blue. I'm waiting on a replacement headliner and carpeting that shipped from Italy on Monday. I still haven't quited decided what engine is going in this car, but I'll cross that bridge later.
My '83 Spider has been at the same body shop since August. They are finally starting to hammer away at it. Should be hitting the paint booth sometime in the next month for a coat of Green Aqua Poly. I've got a bunch of parts that I bought from Centerline that are going into this car once the body work is done. I can't wait.

Just wondering, why are you changing the color of the spider? None of my business, but I really liked that color. It was the color of my first spider.

Mo in NJ

It's Brown, not rust,,,,yet.

Green Aqua sounds pretty cool to me, will match the Berlina nicely

Since that is about the only time she has ever shown any interest in any of my cars I said sure. Took me a little while to figure out what color it was.
