    Paint Em

    Well guys I know the timber look is good,as a purist and fellow rivet counter they need the paint.Land Rover wasn't that creative when they built these old girls. You have done such a wonderful job mate and see where you come from for the inspiration.

    I'm bucking the trend.

    I'm no purist or rivet counter like Konrad, but I have to buck the trend and say I think you should paint it. You put up a photo stating "this is what my project is meant to look like", so it seems to me that you know, or at least feel inside, what you should do. After all, "it's your project".

    Don't get me wrong, I do like timber finishes. I had a beautiful 30 degree sarked ceiling of Japanese Cedar and Douglas Fir beams in the house I built in NZ, so I appreciate the beauty of natural timber finish. I just like the look of the genuine finish on the S3 in the photo and think it would really "complete" your beautiful restoration. JMHO of course.

    Cheers

    I like the timber, and I won't knock it either way, but I say paint it and stick to originality.

    I thought I would give this thread a bump as I have had a lot of people asking how I was going. Well not much to report as I have a stage one that needs to be registered for Xmas holidays. I actually don't have much to do just a time factor.
