Hi,

I've just joined this forum and was wondering if anybody could help me. I'm a UK resident who has just acquired a part restored viper green 2.2 '70 year model 911 T. This car was imported from Pasadena California having apparently been owned by a Doctor there for most of its life (until 1997). I'm currently welding up the front X member and subjecting it to a bare metal respray and restoration to original specification. The question I have for you is:

What colour should the car be in the trunk area and engine bay? Should it be the body colour (viper green) or matt black? Every imported US spec T that I have looked at seems to be matt black but when you scrape under that it reveals the original body colour. Is it that people tend to spray matt black on to tart the cars up or were they delivered like this??


Thanks in anticipation.....
