Very nice Rich, the orange looks ace!! Brilliant Orange is the same colour every 1970's Beetle or camper seems to be.. it's, well, very orange :mrgreen:

I think the interior would look great with black Toledo seats and HL door cards..

The car looks fantastic. Well done. I do like a happy ending. How are you going to keep it away from Micro Nutter Man?
By the way, can you see anything through the passenger-side mirror?

The cat is now kept off the road at any time it isnt being driven. Also I can't see anything out of either of the mirrors but they look good:).
And Justin the only orange one I had seen before I painted mine was the one with albums on the roof. Seen a few now! Still I love it.

Fatnastic mate. Looking forward to using these to see if my daughter will let our dolly do it for her.

Fantastic stuff there, that sure beats the usual stretched limo as wedding transport.
:idea: Hmm, so, is there a demand for Dolomites as wedding transport, would you say? :lol:
