Door being stripped

This probably makes me miss it most

wow, pretty incredible metal work!

[Wolfgang]

Great to see.

Was wondering what was happening with this.

Thats coming up very nicely Dom, glad to see the progress.
I am Emailing Oscar about my windscreen frame so if there is ANY item of main body your even thinking about needing let me know. This car thats getting sliced in LA is more than likely the LAST lot of Mk 1 sheetmetal I will be bringing home.

I have already spoken to him about a complete set of door trim pieces.

LMK and soon mate , other than that keep up the good work and have a great xmas / new year ..

[Jarred]

What visual style would you like to go for?

i wanted to keep it a certain tone of silver, but i want something period correct so a nice bronzie/ brownie silver was my prefernce. So far i really like;

- 'Pepe pepper' came out on a ltd edition cc overseas i think it was called the california or something like that. however i thought this may be hard to source
- at this stage i am quite heavily leaning towards 'autumn brown metallic' a new passat colour

this aside it will be rolling on either the ssr's or widened steelies or both. havent decided colour on steelies but if i was going autumn brown metallic i was thinking matt black with colour coded centres. Just ideas atm but yeh gonna settle on a colour shortly.

[Jarred]

I think either of those colours would give it a nice modern retro look. (would work great with the SSR's)

should worl well with polished/chrome touches and accents.

Autumn brown, with the SSR's with gold centers and polished lips would be amazing IMO

yeh sorry you probably misunderstood me; i would leave the ssr's as is bar a minor refurb polish etc.

but my 14"x8" steelies allow for the orignal mk1 chrome hub cap. so i was gonna do the steelie in matt black and the chrome hub cap colour coded...something different bit of an experiement really.

I see, would still look awesome with the SSR's how they are now
