Thanks for the comments guys. There are some fine examples of how VW's are supposed to be on this forum.
I'm pretty sure its the original paint. I'm not sure what the actual name of the color is but it looks orange to me! I think the car must have been garaged for a while because the paint is in good condition.
Yes, it does need to be dumped! What do you guys suggest for relatively cheap springs/shockers to lower Mk1's, besides cutting the springs!
Also, check my gallery for more pics.
