[urq] urq custom paint jobs

[Patrick Carlier]

In a nuttshell : 

I've got this great 1981 ur-q body . Bought it as an empty shell . 
No engine, gearbox , interior , dash , wheels etc . But for an '81 the body is in great 
shape , and the price was ridicoulisly low . Then I started collecting parts . 
A wrecked S2 donated the 3B engine and complete drivetrain and suspension , urS4 six speed transmission , 
CQ black leather interior . Audi 80fox extended dash ( taxisdah ) . 
Anyway , everything  needed to make an absolutely great car is available now . 

Then I was thinking , as its really gonna be a parts bin on wheels anyway . Hardly any original part 
left besides the shell and the windows . Why should I stick with the original colours . 
Altough I'm very fond of the antracite black . And if the coulours are not gonna be original , why not 
do a custom paint job .  

When I was 20 years younger , I did a flame paint job on my first car . 
It was an ugly , underpowered worthless piece of junk really .   
But nowadays people in our village still remember that flaming Renault R12 . 

So I was wondering . Are there any good examples of custom painted ur-q out there . 
Like to see some pictures if there are . 
Don't know if I'de go for flames again . After al I'm not a 20 year old kid anymore . 
Bu then again the ur-q is not an underpowered ugly piece of junk is it  . 

Thoughts , examples .... 
Fire away :))
