The color question is the biggest debate right now.
Sahara is not that bad, but id like to have it something close to "grey mouse" as i use to say, it looks so vintage.
Audi has some nice gray on their TT, i will have my friend who works in a paint store look at it.
Probably Bristol, Fjord or polaris neu.
I will put on early style wheels with hubcaps as well for sure.
Believe me the body is not that bad, ive seen others way more bad, especialy my white one. _________________ 1976 turbocharged 2002, 14psi, T3, 70%LSD, urethane bush, 36x15 intercooler, 63mm tby,SDS EM4F, 5sp overdrive. Bilsts. Tech edge wb02, datalogger, recaros.

today update...
i spent a lot of time adjusting the fiberglass fenders, and making them look straight.
I also fixed the rear left shock tower and also the top of the nose near the rad. That portion has been saw zalled by po for a very obscure reason, probably to reach the nuts of the center grille...i couldnt look straight so i had it sprayed with gravle guard, then the sprayable bondo over that will striaghten it a lot.
Next will be to fix/adjust the front bumper once i will receive some known good source bumper ends.
I still didnt find the source of the one i have. grrrrrr.
Soon i will spray over a coat of spryable light bondo, will get it surfaced straight then primer...i cant wait for this day to come...i am a bit late on this project. _________________ 1976 turbocharged 2002, 14psi, T3, 70%LSD, urethane bush, 36x15 intercooler, 63mm tby,SDS EM4F, 5sp overdrive.

This car gona be straight.

yup, elbow grease. thats it.
What i do IS a restoration. Taking a new a like shell and putting all new parts on it is just an exersice of showing that you have deep pockets...i do not btw.
So today i fitted the ?%$?@#? bumpers.
It is just the pre-test fit so i know if it gona be ok or not...i like the overriders-less look.
