Gav, is there any way to find out what the original colour of the car is?

Get a hat like this:

 

a paint scraper like this:

 

and a heat gun like this:

 

and become an automotive archaeologist .

 

Best place to look for original paint colour is inside the car, floors, rear boot area, firewall as those are unlikely to have been repainted..

 

Cuong might also know. I recall he said it wasn't originally 907 Green at 1 point but I could be wrong.

Well after a hectic few weeks of life messing up with my plans the build is moving along again. Engine bay is gonna get emptied out in the next 2 weeks and then it's off to the body shop.

Plus I managed to get my hands in a pair of seats for the Zed, here's one of them posing in a Corolla!

Na, just not that skinny. They are made for skinny Japanese bottoms.

[aaronjo]

Thank God I've got a skinny bottom then!

 

New rule, you wanna ride in my car, you gotta lose weight, lol!

Wrong I know but brings this to mind.....

Engine bay stripped and she's off to the body shop!

[aaronjo]

There was a bit of a delay but she's getting paint stripped and blasted within a fortnight.

 

Now I'm looking at getting flares, front spoiler and rear spoiler so that the body shop can fit them up while the cars I the shop. For a local dealer I can only find stuff from Otomoto, does anyone know of other suppliers?

Aaron I think you need to do two things.

Start a build thread posting photos, lots of photos with updates and use the search function and Google.

I am looking forward to seeing the car once it's sorted. What colour?

Jeff

[cracker]

Nice car and great work so far!

 

Also keen to know what colour it's going to be, but also what colour it was originally!

 

Good luck

JP

[aaronjo]

Will do!

 

Most prolly get it from Otomoto, at least they're local.
