My absolute favorite VW color. Very Happy If/when I get an early model, it's becoming this color!

Just wondering about your M351 code. By any chance does your car still have the original transmission?

I has been suggested in another thread that cars delivered in conditions that would have salt on the roads had a black painted transmission. I was wondering since yours was delivered to a country with a lot of snow yours would be a good example to check (if it does truely have its original transmission not a rebuild)

So, can you check to see if your car has a black painted transmission?

Thanks

The REAL question is: Are these cars "Green" or "Blue"?
It drives me crazy when people talk about my "Blue" VW... It's obviously "Green", right? Has anyone else had this happen?


Well turquoise is a blue-green.... sooo and that picture looks more blue then green to me. Its a slight tinting or even lighting condition that will change the color to looking more green or more blue.

It has the stock tranny & no paint on it. Then agin Iceland is kind of green and nice. So maybe thats why it isn't painted. But if a bug when to Greenland maybe it would have a painted tranny. That's where all the snow is. Go figure on the name's.

Sorry to hear about your car bandit.
Now when can I come over and buy your OG rear fenders? Of course, I'm both sympathetic and just pathetic here...

Sorry man all I have left of it is the roof, rear clip, and deck lid. Had a friend in Utah that is redoing a 61 Turk that got the parts.
