Ooops I did it again

With the Rally Golf stuck in a time warp, Kelly took pity on me and let me pick up an other mk1 to keep me busy untill the Rally car comes home (aint she great?:):))
So I (i mean "we") are now the new owners of a 2 door 76 LS (in baby-poo yellow). Pics to followj:

Yep Steve, Beth's Golf has a new home :D

For the record (with many thanks to Mr Loon) CLR 719 - Wattle.
My Autobarn guy looked confused because the CLR bit suggests Nissan (see prevoius threads re Nissan colours), but his computer actually showed it as a VW colour. $36 for 500ml should be enough to touch up the rough bits.

congrats mate! pics ;)

Will also show the same colour for Volvo.
They were all painted in the same factory (Clayton)

And for my next trick;
Once out from under the gum trees, it no longer looks quite so "baby-poo". Turns out to be yellow! Faded and filthy, but still yellow.
Anyone in Canberra want some baby-poo touch up paint j:??

C

No, but someone in sydney does... me!

Well Smithy, I suggest you drop the Loon a note, he has a tin as well and might be easier to pickup:)
And... I am now confused again because the plate on the front says that it IS baby-poo (sorry I mean CLR 719). The rest of the paintwork is soooo faded is was impossible to guess.

j:Cj:

CLR 719 is wattle. A light yellow.

There is only one red on an Australian LS and it is Citrus Red (CLR 313)

theres your answer i guess, the pic certainly looks the same as mine (its citrus red)

So here she is, Baby-poo yellow and all. This is an "after" shot. Kelly spent Saturday arvo polishing while I worked on the electrics.

Not too shabby huh?

Big thanks to Peter Shelly for the drive shafts, patience and the trunk full of goodies I always seem to leave his workshop with, and Tim (Gotrice) and Andre (Hill Flog) who came thru with the non-bouncy suspension bits.

looks good mate :)
