Errrrmmm!!




No!!

He's on the list of things to do though!!

Adraitic Beige with a set of reverse rims and a red leather interior

I'm sure you've already worked out it's actually Arianca Beige with a Pale Ivory roof.

Arianca is commonly misspelt on paint systems as Arancia Beige, somewhere I have an actual mixing sheet for the pigments.

Yup, he's definatley arianca!! I've had quite a few rattle cans mixed over the years. Somewhere in his history file theres a recipe for the paint, I showed it my supplier and they laughed at me!!

He was originally green, I found traces in the engine bay when I pulled the lump out. Theres no chance of him going back to green though as I love the beige too much!!

Problem is that to restore properly he's gonna cost a fortune, expecially as I want him back to standard. I'd also like to get my daughter involved a bit as well(she's 3), if I leave him a few years she'll enjoy helping.

Plus i've just bought a mk3 that I want to do as well(once the mpi is finished)!!!!

Its been a few years!!    

[Shifty]

Funnily enough I am planning on dragging him out next year and getting him back on the road....

It will be great to see some process on him once you get around to it, You always seem to make such good progress once you get going, puts me to shame.

I remember seeing this at MITP a few years back! Always thought it looked cool

I too have an Elf, so was very interested to read this thread.
