I have just had the body work started on my 2.7. I can't wait to see it in it's original colour.

Chartreuse ?
Was that available after '73 ?
Or was the '74 'Lime Green' the same colour ?

Did the bodyshop give you a b0ll0cking about the 'modified' front arches you created with pliers at Elvington?

As you can see it gets worse. The wings a bare metal no rot anywhere so far. Yes I did get into a little trouble for my body work, both front wings will need leading, I have had the edges rolled so it won't happen again, might even go for 195/70/15 tyers on the front when it gets back. The colour is Lime Green can't find a picture anywhere, but it's going to be a bit shocking when it's all that colour.

There's a lime green 74 at the bottom of the page from the above link. I might be able to sort you out with a few other links when I check my work computer as I've e-mailed a friend a few who has also just bought a lime green 74! and by pure coincidence I own a chartruese 2.4, which is actually a slightly lighter shade to lime green. Both are absolutely fantastic colours for an early 911. People will notice you!

I'm sure that the effort will be worthwhile.
A detail perfect 2.7 Carrera, with the correct, original parts, is arguably the nearest thing to a 2.7RS Touring.
So, done properly it should be money well spent.
Good luck
