Thanks Alan. I appreciate that. I hope that part of the world can avoid falling apart while I am there

Wish you the best over there on your PCS. Make the best of it.

When I was in Germany in the Army, troops that were there we talked to said they lived like Kings.

Ya gotta try the KimChee over there.
It'sooo good!

Don't let the thought of marinated stinky Cabbage stop you.
You'll get hooked on it once you try it a few times.

FINALLY AN UPDATE!!

Ive tried the kimche and it is really good. Medical issues have kept me from eating much else. However, it hasnt stopped the body shop back home from finally starting on the car. The only thing that I noticed from the pictures so far is that I think they covered the trim holes for the vinyl top trim on the quarters, but they are not using a whole lot of filler which makes me happy. I have a couple videos but dont know how to post those here. If anyone knows then I will get them posted.

Moving right along. They filled the vinyl top holes on the quarter pannel so now they have to go and put them back. Hopefully we will be seeing color in the next couple of weeks.

Looks good to me but I'm by no means an expert  on FK5.

update  :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Still some issues, like the orange peel, debris pits, and they didn't work the trunk lid at all. They want me to buy a new trunk lid...not gonna happen. that one was bought about 5 years ago. I think my body guy is getting lazy since he has been fully paid.
