Just found this on Youtube, looks like it was posted in the last few days. It's the restoration of a grey/orange coupe to a grey/blue stripe coupe.

Nice video showing the restoration. What's up with the music though?

Was that a color combo? Gray with Blue accents???

Yes, my car's "Smoke Grey Metallic" but......ascMcLaren never had blue stipes, logos, decals made up!

They had: Black, Popsicle Orange, Silver, and and 2 sets of Gold Metallic.

I like it but who would go through that much and not put it back to 100% original?

But I still like it!!!

There are ALOT of people out there who do not care one bit about originality . In their eye, what they have changed from "original" is an improvement and more pleasing to them. Originality buffs & customizers will never see eye-to-eye.
I like what Mike did with his 85 Navy/Orange. Kept exterior 98% stock and dove into the engine, for max performance. That's the best of both worlds.

Mike's (n20capri) is an 86 Sandy.

Nope, Mike's is fuel injected which was only on the 86 coupes. The 85s have a carb! I've owned both now and they are very different..
