    Smile Show us your colour!!

    Hello Everyone

    I wanted to start a thread so everyone with a series 2 and 2a could post up there car and the name of there colour!

    I hope people participate only because I'm really in to minds on what colour to have our 2a painted.....and with such limited original colours I thought it would help me to make up my mind by possibly seeing some original colours in there glory on the actual vehicles.

    So bo me a favour post up a pic brag about your car and its colour did you paint it yourself or did you have someone do it...or is it still the original paint and you haven't touched it

    Thanks

    Lou

    This is Basil - before:




    And afterish:

    Myself and a mate sprayed it ourselves. Not perfect, but it will do me. I should have the roof, door tops and vents back on Monday. (took them to a mate to spray - the roof needed some major bog work).





    The paint I bought at Triken at Miranda - can't tell you the colour other than olive green and a whole heap of formulas Brad used to make it up. The seats have since been resprung, refoamed and recovered in green too.

    I have the original rims (white - or what's left of the white). I will strip and respray those. Just little things now - door seals etc. Starts first time every time. Having a bit of trouble with the carby at the moment. But not bad for a 51 year old car.

    I am not sure what you are expecting since most of the series vehicles are ex-mil here you may not get too many other colours other than green in different shades

    This is Onslow. He is dressed in a nice shade of Olive Drab, a very popular colour in military circles circa 1963 when Onslow was born.

    A very distinguished looking passenger don't you reckon Mrs HH.
