Photos of Pagoda
« on: September 30, 2014, 03:50:31 »
I am working on my car, cleaning, cutting, welding and dream of the final livery colors?
The car was Burgundy, but it fits better near NY, from were she comes.
 (But not for the winter salted roads that destroyed the undercarriage)
Here in South East Asia, clear colors are cooler, and easier to keep cleaner from dust The worse over here is black!!!
She was Burgundy, with tan interior, a black hard top and red soft top.
I plan Ivory/Cream exterior, including hard top with red interior and soft top.
Does any one have such a car?
I am looking for pictures if possible.
Thanks.
Thierry

Here is a link to a photo group of a restoration done some years ago by a former member, BPossel. The color combination appears to be just what you are typing about.

Thanks Jonny,
Just it, but what a restoration this bpossel did!!!!!!!!
Mine will never be like that.
But fortunately, because if I had done a car restored like that, I wouldn't dare to drive her. Too afraid to get her dusty, or damaged after so much work and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
Thanks a lot for the link, I am even more motivated to carry on my home work.
Best
Thierry

Light Ivory is nice  ;)  (see my car in the foreground of the pic below). It rarely looks dirty even when I know it is!


This is a classy combination, too...

Thierry, the combination you're thinking of is superb. While I was still living in Paris a Pagoda in that color combination was showing up at the monthly Vincennes gathering and it was stunning! The best color combination all Pagodas that were participating to the gathering!
