Hi Markus! Glad to see you've found your way to this forum. There are lots of helpful members here, and sure that you are one of them :grin:

There is also a Wanted section for posting any parts that you'll need; maybe someone here has a set of the rear glass moldings? Will let you know if I find any.

Smooth roads,
Perry

looks like this car found the right person to sort it out.

I really wanted to have flake paint on my car when I had it painted, but I didn't have the balls to go through with it.

the photos of the progress of the work are great. keep them coming.
