Paint progress. Went with Nissan Majestic Blue. Same shade of blue as TH1 but with a lot more metallic in the paint that gives it a nice little bright blue highlight in direct light.
First the body needed some love. Painter says car had been painted 3 times over, as in primer right over factory paint (thankfully they seemed to have done decent prep work each time).
Then we found out that most recent painter, or person that pulled the rear glass, scratched the paint to bare metal and didn't bother to properly repair it so some rust had started setting in. Glad we found it as the one in center of rear parcel shelf had two pinholes already formed. Always opt for glass out when painting!
Rust was cut out and repair panels were made then welded in and sanded smooth.
Back to painting
