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.

i think i like the green best.
more attention seeking as a colour than blue is

pete wood ·

pick a colour that hides dirt well.

sorry that's not very helpful but at least it's practical :o

Boozer ·

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.

Boozer ·

Grock ·

So.... just wondering why you wanted to respray? i think it looks the bis. as it is now.

Anthiron ·

lots of dents and places where to paint has come off in sections inside some nice previous owner carved their initials into the paint on the dash......theres a nice unpainted bit of bog on the drivers side front guard........the dents and paint chips are from a previous owner who had a fight with his son and his son took to the car with a baseball bat.
