Im looking into doing a mk1 snowplough project...a nod to old skool I guess...similar to what the VAG boys have mastered.
I originally wanted a carmine red SR replica to build but feel it is not old skool enough...what do you guys suggest?
I was thinking one of the yellows ( mustard or jam? lol ) but Im now considering a beige...or any other ideas?
Do what you like not what you feel fits a scene:roll:
As above do what you want to do ! personally i would go for Brown or jamaca yellow
there's a brown mk1 nova hatchback for sale on piston heads can't remember
if it was B or C reg??????????
in west yorkshire for £500
low millege 28k and looks quite tidy in photo's.
cheers stu

I saw the brown :) I am getting a semi over a yellow one, I was not trying to build what I think would fit into the scene, I was curious over color palettes...I fancied something that was early 80s...but maybe not too popular :) I have some more ideas now spanks :)
What about Ocre, very 70s but I highly doubt there is another Nova this colour

i had an ochre kadett, it looked like an egg yolk. i wasn't a nice colour. have a look at seventies or early eighties gm colours, like parchment beige or china green or blue, there are very few left

One of the Vaux Cream colours. proper old school that.
carmine red for an sr or jamaica yellow.
i dont know what colour this is, but it's a great mk1 colour

how abot do the full car in anacite (i know thats spelt wrong) with gloss black wheels an bumpers
i'd go for a gsi kit and speedlines.
