The colour is the original colour - L53b Gentian Blue. People always ask if its a Porsche colour! Its a one year only colour from 1972.
The car was stripped down and every nut and bolt was cleaned, zinc coated and reused in exactly the same location Same goes with 90% of the parts which were cleaned and reconditioned back to OG spec. It had a little bit of welding which was all done seamlessly to original specification so you can't see its ever been welded. The car was debuted at Volksworld Show which is Europe's top VW indoor show where all the best rides are selected to debut each year.
I'm gonna put the full build up pictures on my website once I've been through the 4,000 pictures of the build!
The car is all original specification apart from the fuel tank which is now gloss black instead of matt black, and the suspension is lowered one inner spline at the rear and a 5 inch custom narrowed beam with shock towers which I built. The wheels are fully polished original Porshce 2 litre Fuchs. Only new old stock and original equipment parts have been used in the build. No Taiwanese shit on there! Front wings were reproductions when we bought the car, so were changed for genuine VW new old stock ones. Bumpers are original VW and were rechromed. The list goes on!
The interior is all original, except the carpets which are original spec Perlon and identical to the original carpets which were there. The engine is original and has been cleaned and reconditioned and all tinware powdercoated to original specification. All running gear is fully detailed and the floorpan is gloss black inside and outside. The paint on the inner arches and above the gearbox is as good as the paint on the roof!
