Snowy Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) Trying to get work done inbetween the rain is a pain. Have bolted on the passenger side nose cone now. I think i will weld the bolt heads in place and use nyloc nuts when it's finished. I'm going for a bolt on front valance. Makes life easier. Doesn't it feel good when the car starts to look like a car again. Need to get the nose cone and valance balsted and primed. I still cannot decide what colour to paint his car.

spiney_norman Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Some excellent work going on there! I'd suggest black, don't think I've seen a 4 door in black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 what about dolphin grey ? or maybe a two tone with the break at the main swage line , perhaps keeping the existing top colour with a metalic grey/black on the lower half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. Dolphin grey or something close would look superb. Would look good with twin lights too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mantavator Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think that's very sexy Colin! I think you're quite cute too, Norman x That does look good in black. Not making the decision any easier!!! You have to ask yourself...."does black suit a car of that age?" Your choice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vauxsenb Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think you're quite cute too, Norman x You have to ask yourself...."does black suit a car of that age?" Your choice though. Yes, well I think it sets it off well with the chromework as a contrast, but hey thats just my opinion. Black looks good on any car if its clean. Cheers, Colin.

garymanc Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 for any four door i like English Red. Code 532L like on ians ascona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Do you know I was going to suggest black myself but didn't get round to it last night and now I've been beaten to it! Looks great with the chrome and would match the beige interior. Only drawback is black is a very critical colour if the panels aren't ripple and dink-free. My second choice (before someone else gets in) is silver, again matches the interior a bit more forgiving on older panels and I'm put in mind of the special edition 2 door they did as a run-out limited edition which was a silver only "L" spec with GL external trim. I'm really jealous someone is getting some time in, I'm decorating the lounge presently and my Ascona is abandoned!

cam.in.head Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 im probably doing my cav cedar green met.as found on cicra 73/74 viva but not everyone likes green. a more modern green like krypton may look TOO MODERN & spoil the character ! ditto english red also. my dad had a sportshatch in that colour.looked geat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantamike Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) why not try this terribly dodgy brown like my ascona is kidding aside, always difficult to choose a nice new color for you're car, so good luck with it Edited November 10, 2009 by mantamike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
