Hi Peeps,
I have a quick request.
I currently restoring a 1967 mustang. It is not a numbers matching car and is not entirely original... meaning my hands are not tied
I've been thinking about colours for the car and I'm trying to find something similar to the original paint, but I wanted to lift it a little with something perhaps a shade lighter or a nats more metallic to show off the curves of the car better. It was originally a rather flat nightmist blue.
Anyhow, I've been told to keep an eye out for colours that I think would be suitable and I saw a Z4 coupe this evening that looked pretty darn good. Unfortunately, it seems the Z4 have quite a selection of dark blues and I have no idea which it was ! Can I see some pics of the Midnight blue metallic, Monaco blue and the Montego blue???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Here is a pic of the car before the restoration began... don't be fooled by the pretty paintwork... it was hiding a great many horrors....

mplaczek, I love your car!
Having had the pleasure of starting a restoration on a '67 fassback some years ago, I know how many horros can be lurking underneath the skin. I never got the car completely back together and I sold it when I moved some years back. I would love to see more pictures and hear what you have done with the car.

Thanks for the link WLH , and thanks for the complement ay8306!
I wish I could say that I was doing the restoration myself. I had the car checked out and there were several major safety concerns... I wanted this car to be safe and reliable from my family and I was not sure I trusted myself with some of the major work... additionally, my situation at home leaves me with very little time. So... if I wanted to have my dream car realized in my lifetime, safe, reliable for all my family to enjoy... I took her to the http://www.mustangworkshop.co.uk I have a little restoration diary that should answer any questions... enjoy the read! When I bought her she was partially done up like the Shelby... I intend to complete the GT500 recreation even down to the engine... keeping the styling classic and correct.
