close to factory i reckon ,not sure about the vinyl roof though ,open to opinions on that and i have started stripping it back already

Hi Rodney, this will look great i think, why not keep the vinyl roof. It's how it came & it'll be a little different, i would restore it to original, you could do it all, paint it ect. & buy a vinyl roof from winner's sit it on & decide easy as but I'd take it back to factory. Gary.

As much as reinstating the vinyl roof would be in keeping with the cars originality personally I wouldn't. Vinyl roofs can be a moisture trap if not installed properly.

Correct go no vinyl roof imagine how good that combo will look with a white car
stunning

[grumpy xu1]

Dave i don't know how much of an issue it would be if you painted properly under it & garaged the car & it wasn't a daily driver ect. Things are a lot better nowadays, and if it was sealed right should be okay i think. Just my opinion though. Gary.

[TOERUNNER]

hey guys would anyone know the paint code for the chestnut colour on the dash panel of my gtr

[grumpy xu1]

It usually just has a powder additive to give it the coarser rougher non reflective finish, sorry i can't remember what it's called atm though.

Is that for metal under the dash pad and the A pillars etc

Progress has been slow but on a bit of a roll now , body was taken back to bare metal and coated in Debeer epoxy, next to no rust but a few old repairs will need a bit of love, engine bay has been repainted and the diff, gearbox , engine and front end have all been rebuilt.  IMG_1490 (1).jpg   16.28K   3 downloads
