when the body works done (or hopefully i get a new body .....fingers crossed....anyone have an early 60s body preferably 62 with a baja kit fitted or at least chopped for one so i dont have to do it?)

3 choices in the air right now.

respray in the current or similar metalic red/maroon.

respray in a bright annoying green colour (my fav atm)

or go as the cars name suggests and paint it blue.

pics follow.

Go the green!!!!
I've got my manx painted Kermit green but with the black & white taken out so it only has the green & yellow in the paint....it is pretty bright.
With the leftovers I'm painting our Baja bug the same colour

i think i like the green best.
more attention seeking as a colour than blue is
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Auscam! Oh no wait, that's me.

the green is good, like the green on my baja that's cool. But I like the maroon too.

sorry for all those green-lovers out there........but no way nick...not green ....puke puke puke.....heheheh. no offense to the green--vw-drivers out there..........
i like it the way it is......awwwwww.........or maybe blue........or maybe nick just wait hun, until you have spent all your $$$$$$$$s on fixing the other IMPORTANT bits before you go daydreaming......awwww...i;'m such a party-pooper-mother-boring-arse..............

how about FLAMES>>>>>>> i am all about flames at the moment........maybe i should start a poll - who reckons i should make wombats' vision of my type 3(IN MY AVATAR) a reality and cover the t3 in flames (seeing as i am too poor to even indulge in DAYDREAMS of new paint jobs....) hmmmm. ami rambling again? i'm in the library, in stealth mode seeing as i got banned from here on account of heather and her VW PORN......and i am meant to be researching my assignment. ahhh. paint daydreams......maybe i can afford to......:repuke
