Greetings from the West Coast of Canada! I bought an '83 GS from a friend in Santa Barbara, CA in 1990 and, with very regular oil changes, usual maintenance plus a new clutch, I have enjoyed every one of its 136k miles. I have managed to keep the dreaded dowel seal oil leak to an acceptable level for years now by using oil additives, though my good fortune seems to be running out. Engine rebuild time? Twenty years ago I couldn't stand its original brown colour and had it painted silvery gold. I also removed the bodyside moldings and beadblasted and polished the rims. I'm thinking it's time to paint the car again and wonder what colour you, fellow enthusiasts, think would look good, given its brown and tan interior. I'm thinking a light green metallic might be in order. Your suggestions are welcome!

PS - I'll get a couple of pictures attached tomorrow
