Stick with the original colours buddy if your fully restoring it

Other colours make them look like replicas IMO and could make it harder to sell in the
future.

Wasn't mine mate. Belonged to JamboRST off here. You'd have to ask him. Was a peach of a car though, really was a stunner to look at.

Mine were all RED... Best colour
