I've been thinking about colours for my next project - The 70's Looker I really love the porsche 911 colours from the 70's in particular "olive green" has anyone seen a bug in this colour? Or even beter does anyone know a link to a site that has a porsche colour charts from the 70's? Also any pic's of porsche coloured looker would be great   |

i was so tempted to use it again on my '64 gasser project as i've never seen it on any other car, but i think i should use something i havent used before........and i'm not sure it'd go too well with the interior i have planned.   thats the only shot i have loaded at the moment....if you're interested i can scan some more. dont be shy if you think its shit.....  in the flesh its a really nice terracota color. |

That looks like a cool colour dude - its almost like a lighter version of sepia brown - I'd like to see a few more some time (maybe at slough) I really like the look of the 68 - 69 "gold-green" thats a colour I've never seen used before |

that Goldgreen is really nice....i think a nice old style shade of green works SO well on a bug.
do you have a copy of Volksworld issue 6?
it has such a cool car on page 54....its kinda what i based my Mango Green car on, its on similar lines to that greengold shade.

Cool I'll look forward to seeing them - and no I don't have that issue of Volksworld, Wish I did My main aim with the colour choice is to find an original porsche or vw colour that hasn't been used on a looker before (well at least for a few years) its gonna be a hard task I think  |

yeah..it really does, maybe a little more reddy/orange than mine? or it could be the california sun instead of the Weston-Super-Mare dull, depressive, dole-queue darkness. |

here's a scan of that pic from Volksworld 6.....  it's maybe a little too much on the green side of that Porsche color......? another color that i've always thought could work well is harvest gold, used on MG's and Maxi's etc.....very 70's.....? |

Sounds interesting dude - VW or Porsche VW, it's for my grlfriend, she's done with being a passenger, with my driving at any rate. It's going to have an interesting engine, a 1776 but with something along the lines of an 84mm crank and 94mm barrels as she doesn't want anything too OTT. |
