Looks like you went with Anthracite Gray metallic. 172 G (G for Glasurit). That is the color I chose and my car was originally light ivory 460. Have you selected an interior color yet?

[guyke]

yes i decided wat color i wil take for the interior , it wil be cognac brown
starting at renewing numbrous parts also , cable loom has been renewed and repaired were needed .
brake booster is renewed , and al the pieces needed to rebuild the interior heating system , they need to be mounted first in the car
front axle is almoast complete

[guyke]

some progress on the car

[guyke]

many parts are already been restaured but wil be mounted on a later period in the car , progress is slowly , also big problem to find in belguim a company that fining metal parts in jellow coating , like the engine parts and screws , its toxic they say and its not anymore alowed , so looking at other countrys to send parts to be yellow metalised .

Wow! Very interesting thread. Never saw it before until you just posted again.
I have a non-Pagoda question:
On the first page(s) you show a VW-Porsche 914. The unrestored (red body) car has 4-lug wheels, indicating it is a Volkswagen. Some later pics (silver body) - I assume it is the same car - shows Porsche Fuchs wheels. Did you do a 5-lug conversion? Any other "upgrades" to the 914-4?

[guyke]

hello mike , there were only some minor upgrades at the porsche 914 , injection was removed due not verry reliabel , and a double weber was add in place , this made the car mutch faster and reliabel , an electronic ignition was placed , and the 5 bolt wheel were made possible by a friend of me turning an aluminuim piece with 4 bolt insert and 5 bolt outsert , so first jou mount the 4 bolt alu piece on the brakes and on that alu piece jou could mount the 5 bolt fuchs rims if jou untherstand  , it was stil the same car , the fuchs were aftermarket wheels 5 bolt

yes i decided wat color i wil take for the interior , it wil be cognac brown

I restored my car back to it's original colours but I always said if I had a car in a non-preferred colour I would change it to "Anthracite Grey with Cognac interior".

Great choice!

Where did you get the yellow plating done?

[do8erman]

It's yellow zinc google that plenty of UK companies do it along with chrome and most popular clear or silver zinc

Please accept this as a my compliment, as that is how it is intended.

I very much enjoy your postings and assume as they are written that English is not your primary language.  I applaud you both on your work and your commentary. 

It is definitely a pleasure to read and keep track of this Pagoda's journey.  Keep them coming

Well done
