my car is painted and it looks like this:


I still have to paint the wheels, replace the shock absorbers and then lower it, do the interior, paint the logo on the sides, etc.

this weekend my cousin and I fabricated roofracks for mine and friend's AK. first I made a drawing based on roofracks I've seen on worldmeetings:

then we found some curved parts on local scrapyard and started to weld

and a finished article:

Did you take the original bleu glacier or did you have it made a bit darker like you said before? The roof rack you made looks nice!

@dule - it is Goran's Ak, he's preparing it for Raid Australia this summer

Sam - it's not original bleu glacier, it's closest match I could find. I thought it will be darker, but I like it this way. some additive is added to paint which was supposed to make it matt, but it is somewhere semi-matt, not really shiny, not full matt, so I guess I'll have to follow Kustombart's advice and sand the whole car with scotchbrite pad.
