looks like a nice project for someone to finish off.

Perfect opportunity to fit a heated screen too!

That could be a superb car once finished. The Gold coupe looks extremely good in BRG. The first ever Gold coupe in Holland, now owned by Arie vd Krans, is a BRG. Here's a pic of my first Gold coupe together with Arie's car (that time it was owned by someone else):

That's a great photo, the light really flatters the shape

There is a funny side to this pic. When I met the man with the green Midas, he asked if I could visit him on a specific date. Because that day there was a professional photographer who had seen his car and wanted to take pics. So we met and we drove to this industrial area where the photographer selected this place and placed our cars. Needless to say it was spot on. Here you can see what professionals can do by just placing the cars in the correct environment and on the correct time (end of day, nice red coloring of the light, the socalled magic hour).
A few years later I had to sell the red coupe and advertised it. The buyer turned out to be the photographer of this pic, Margo vd Vooren! She is still the owner and just has it resprayed.

Yes I agree, the Midas does look nice in either BRG or Black. As a personal preference I like it on the Coupe better though than the Convertible.

Funny, because I like Red Convertibles, although I am adverse to red on cars due to it going pink.....

....And green is not a lucky colour according to insurance statistics. Although being in a Midas is lucky in itself
