yup...classic....well, thats my point bro....i wanna have a different color that is abit unique. I guess im too young to restore a classic look...heheh..i just wanna make sure inside, the rust n all are settled first. Personally, wanting to go for the original AMG look. Already on 16inch rollers....not easy to find ori rims for this car. Also plan to put EFI the car with MegaSquirt....eliminate the problem of fuel distributor in the car...coz i cant imagine puttin a jap engine into this car.

maybe after few year, will put back all the ori things on the car...still have the 14inch rims with hubcaps!!....

will post some pics once done with bodyshop...now super dusty la the car....so saddd.....

well..unique color doesn't mean have to be pearl white color..

to me the unique part is not the car color..is how the finishing of the paint job..if u paint pearl white..but the finishing suxs..not nice already..

classic car must always have super mirror finishing that can even see ur own face..that is classic unique color..

also i dun think age is a problem to restore a classic..me also young..restore my beetle and now that's my daily drive.. laugh.gif
