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.

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.

For the ones who download the stickers jpg: be warned, they are far from beign perfect, i am not a pro graphist at all, they could benefit from beign reworked/perfected.

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.

Update, i didnt touched the car for the last month or so....my gf is pregnant...
i found some time this weekend and finished up the front nose and the slots for the bumper brakets.
i also poured some build-up primer on the trunk lid. all blocked down and straight.
i also seam sealed all the joints of my fixes on the floor pans. aouf.
sorry, no pictures yet. The plan is to have the car painted before the snow gets in.
wish me luck...
