I think Gav's car is Bahama yellow - quality 60's colour.

He said something about you being the daddy so it seemed logical!

Stunning car! I want mine to look exactly like that. What have you done with the suspension setup? It's just as I want mine to be.

Cheers guys, thanks for the +ve
.. makes all those hours in the garage worthwhile....
Yep the colour is currently bahama. The paint looks a lot tidier in the photos than in real life... I guess at the moment its got the "rat look" as the vdub crowd would say. But hey, I think thats pretty cool for now and have no real plans to paint it just yet. I got hold of some flying pegasus decals from Bootsey which I think work quite well with the colour too:
Actually bahama is not the original paint, as it has Signal Yellow underneath. Someone obviously wanted to tone it down a bit a few years ago!
go back down stairs and make more Horlicks
