nice car monki...but my opinion is that willow green is too similar to green of baywindow buses that i always hated.too german rather than californian Wink Wink
bahama yellow instead would be perfect!!!!!!! just too similar to "butternut" john lazenby car.

all black leatheterette interior. padded dash with black vdos, black motolita, bucket seats. detailed 5 and half fuchs ( too much 4 and half on the front on this earth. a new project need something different...not buying rare things at immoral prices for rule). fiberglass rear hood. chrome glasspack. no firestones...just michelins..that is an article that you will pay much but u will use every cent. zx 145 on the front. xwx 205 on the rear. one piece window, berg shifter.    you could do one cool things. all black inside. that is black vynil skyliner, black carpets but also black body internal paint: i mean that when you open the door you can't see the colour of the body on the doors, on the dash and around the wind screen. all semi gloss black. that is real seventies....very modern at that time....often used on race cars as anti shine finish

all black even in the hoods. obviously the part of valance covered by hoods have to be black too.

chrome buggy bars cause you are a buggy boy Wink, total dechroming, only handles and light rings left chromed!!!

lucas signals. you need three!!! two for front fender and one with yellow bulb on the padded dash as idiot light.

bronze tinted rear glasses. that's all....... Cool Cool Cool

i think that those nice xwx are available in smaller dimension too. you are right about 205s. they used to have smaller tyres in 70s. but when they raced they used that big blue streak (nice to have them monki....look at bob woodman tyres site, they are good for the road too!!!)
