I just saw a swwwweeeeet red and grey carat with porsche rims. I saw it
in the Samba gallery. 

it reminded my of my Yamaha R1 (well with maybey exception of 130 bhp
per litre of engine LOL) 

It had a grey interior though and all the side claddng I'm not sure if
that colour combo would work for brown interior.

I think pearl white could look pretty trick / sophisticated with the
right rims.

But prolly the best choice is black with some sweet gunmetal rims. Now
we are talking.   

BTW you website is great - looking forward when I can bring my 82 in to
Bens VW spa.

Subject: Tornado Red OR Metalic black?

My next project van... an 85
http://www.benplace.com/85westy2.htm
(i may keep this one, going back to Vanagon land for a wile, i sold my
nice 79) http://www.benplace.com/79beige.htm

Anyway, i hate that color, so it's gonna be stippped and painted inside
and out, a lot's of esthetic gadget (African wheels and grille), a Subi
2.5L, an AA transaxle, everything mechanic will be NEW or rebuilt. I
will, one day sell this van for 30K....

Anyway, we wonder about the color? it was supose to be Black with a
silver roof, but we are not sure anymore, yesterday we saw a beautiful
Audi Red call Tornado Red... and i'm sold! anyway, i would like to do a
poll on that but i can't here, so if you have any good suggestions about
a nice color, NOT a VW vanagon standard color, i want it DIFFERENT.. BUT
nice, so please, don't tell me any ugly color (martian green, piss
yellow, pink, kaki)....
but if you have a good idea, a dream color, if you could change the
color of your van, tell me so, and if possible, give me the color code.

Regards to you all
Ben
