Hi all
currently i am restoring a 1978 1275 LS, original colour nugget gold, i think that it has the orig engine number which is a 12h902uh number, please someone correct me if this is not the case.
The problem i have is that the car has been bead blasted for full respray and is sitting at the panel shop at the moment and i need to choose a colour.
Nugget gold and Hi ho silver im not a huge fan of as they arent very deep rich colours so im trying to find a nice alternative. But i cant seem to make up my mind weather to go silver or find a gold as this was the cars orig colour.
The interior will be charcol so not really trying to go for concourse original condition, more so nice resto with orig touches, LS decals etc...Also weather to keep the roof arieal is another question i have as i would like to put a short one on, if anyone knows of a place these are avalible.
If anyone knows of good colours either way your help would be much appriciated. Cheers
James

Black Metallic with the LS body stripes done in a silver grey or platinum..

Subaru WRX Blue looks nice - as per above!

Although, I do particularly like the Ford Focus XR5 'Electric Orange'. That would look oh so hot on a Mini.

Cheers,
Tricky
