Parts, Parts and more Parts
The next order of business was to unpack the car and sort out the parts. As I had already done this for the first PF coupe, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect and how to lay everything out.
There were a few unique pieces for this car. Here are some of the parts for the sun roof along with a picture of the dash.

There were also some parts that were missing on the other car. These included the radiator blind and backup light (Marchal 520).

Here you can see the car after everything has been taken out of it. The paint is beautiful, but has some garage rash in a few places. Speaking of paint, that was another thing that never arrived. There was a partial five gallon can of leftover paint at Tony's. Now I'll have to try and match the color in order to touch up where it's chipped.
A number of items are better about this car in addition to the paint. The engine compartment is mostly detailed already. The four Borranis on the car have been rebuilt and polished (a little too much since the model stamps are mostly gone), but not the spare. The steering wheel needs refinishing, but it isn't delaminated. The rear bumper is the correct one.
