Omni. I bought up a sample piece and had it matched. It is lighter for sure! Its ok tho. It looks almost bright neon in these pics but its really not. I think its the flash on my phone.

The engine almost started then stopped suddenly. I tested the coil in my car and it was good. The points and condenser must be bad. Im gonna check and see if i have some tonight. Hopefully tomorrow i'll have a runner

Well ive got everything in check and my westy is now in daily driver status. Ive put about 200 miles on it so far. Had a couple issues today, broke down on the side of route 2, but atleast ive got me a good running bus. It leaks quite a bit of oil i must say!! I gotta get that figured out quick!! That had nothing to do with the break down. Actually i had a axle bolts break loose and the damn thing fall off :o!! I rebuilt the cv on the side of the highway and hit the road again. Thankfully a air-cooled beetle stopped to help and happened to have a cir-clip remover tool on him. It was a life saver!!
