The return of project Scarlet, Back at it Options

[AndyB]

As the title reads this is my build off thread. First this is what the car looked like when I picked her up in 2011, she was on conceinmeent.




Oh she was beautiful in her 1.8 glory. The car had 4 owners and all the paperwork to include the window sticker. Since owning her I have put over. 30k miles on her. That is more than the previous three owners combined. I have driven her through snow and rain. Earlier this year the engine went from 0 r.p.m. To turned off the ignition when it climbed past 7k, it was too late. I spun the bearings and made some round holes oval.

So last night I am removing the last of the bondo on the passenger side when my wife tells me she likes the car better with no paint just bare metal. What do I do?

Right Andy, so just paint an "Open for Lunch" sign on it to invite the tin worms in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, the answer is that's it's worth more painted the original color, a bit less if color changed to OE silver for 75, & not much as a bare metal clear coated rebel 914. Women understand value, even if not the car hobby.

IMHO, it was just a hint to stop playing with your car so much & come inside honey! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Not really concerned about value the paint wasn't original to begin with.
