I assume you're going to reinstall the airbag when you put it back together?

Joking aside, immensely impressed by what you've done!

The air bag is still in place but considering a quick release steering wheel for security purposes .

I see!

momo detachable steering wheel in my cinq, possibly my favourite mod on the car!!

Is that paint a pearl finish?

If you're painting a pearl it's best to hang panels at the angle they are going to be on the car so the paint falls the same way as it would for the rest of the car. The bonnet hanging uprights could look a different colour to the roof when you refit it.

All fitted up I think the painter put them at the correct angel

The rebuild

Next wheel refurb and 60mm drop
