Another DIY restoration

Petri,

I join the crowd of admires of your hard job. It was a pure pleasure to see your car (and you in Willingen. Your Pagoda looks definitely outstanding and I also agree that the color combination is superb (and quite frankly my favorite too).

I would be curios to know what made you change the paint from 172 to the present one? Was that because you disliked 172 or just because blue is your realm?

It's heart-warming to see how a car like that comes back - you must be extremely happy with yourself and your car. Hope that the summer in Finland will be long and warm so you can enjoy your fabulous car :-)
There is a Scandinavian Pagoda-meeting in August just north of Copenhagen BTW

Thank you!

Stan,

It was not an easy decision to go for non-original color. Your Pagoda looks absolutely gorgeous in anthracite.
I just wanted to pick a bit lighter color for such a small car and after seeing pictures of "Treedoc's" Pagoda I knew mine would be 396 with parchment interior.

Actually, I wasn't 100% satisfied with the paint job last summer. I had it re-sprayed in April and chose Spies-Hecker paint instead of PPG. It has a warmer shade now (which I like better).




Ulf,

The Scandinavian meeting sounds great.
