Ok, here we go. My wrecked 74 still sits in my garage, and then i find this 75 that has been in a garage for the last 8 years that came from Idaho and is amazingly rust free, and to boot the interior is mint! So my plan is to go ahead and get this one painted, what color is first choice. Do i stick with original or go with a complete color change that will require lots more work and money? Engine and trans out of 74, both have less than 10,000 on complete rebuild, easy solution for time being. I have just about a complete 5 lug set up with brakes and rims in boxes. Parts car should fill every need i might have, then a big sale on everything else. Sounds all easy, for some this could take years, for me, once paint is complete its all down hill as long as money issues don't arise too much.
Step 1: Finalize outcome of wrecked 914 in my garage. Step 2: Scotty B, I will need a ball park estimate of same color and one for complete color change. Step 3: Jump in!  |

I'm debating a color change myself, but my car is completely apart and on a rotisserie.
My car is originally black, so I will probably keep it black, but I like yellow and signal orange a lot. That said, there were a lot of great colors and your car is one of them...I would not do a color change on that car IMHO. |
