i see you are an Art Center College of Design grad...what did you study? One of my car club mates graduated as a Transportation Design major and works for GM advanced team design...

This! Paint those mirror housings and put in a filler gap for where the headlamp wipers used to be. This car is epic. I've never seen a 126 with those Carlssons on it. You have fine taste sir.
