New '81S arrived last night - What should I do with it now :)

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

My favorite MKI color is platinum grey metallic.  It was the champagne
edition color in 77.  I am of course a little biased since that was my
first scirocco.  I have some great slides of it when it was new, the
paint was spectacular.  Anyone know of an easy way to get slides into a
digital format?  If so, I will try to post them.
Rick.

Well the '81s was delivered last night.  Not in as bad of shape as I had

expected.  Overall a real nice shell to work with.  No rust that I can
see 
on first glance. Nice and straight.  Interior is in decent shape for a
20 
year old car.  No rips in the original S seats (outer bolsters are soft,

but what can you expect).  Carpet is almost mint, including rear hatch 
carpet.  Only interior issues are nice large speaker holes cut into both

door cards and 6x9 speaker holes cut into rear hatch cover.

Currently the car looks like someone tried to paint it in their garage
at 
home.  Paint runs everywhere.  So if I am going to paint it, what color 
looks best on a mk1?
