Do you pan on selling it ? If not just do it the way you like it...Go for it

No plan on selling it but if it came down to it think it would lose value?

Could go either way...
A white GN may be exactly what someone is looking for

What the heck happen to a 21k mile GN that needs to be restored? WHOA!!!

Most people who would want a Gn would want a black car otherwise they would buy a t type?

Restoring usually means putting it back to original otherwise your modifying it

In my case, my 83 T is a rustomod. It's your car and you need to decide how you want to do it. If you want to do it properly then a full frame off, powder coating, and a paint job that will cost more than my first, second, and third car all together will be in order.

Or perhaps - there is some lonesome soul out there searching right at this moment for a low mileage MaryKay Pink GN?

Bryan - this sounds like one of the dumbest posts I've see in a long time.
Like bescurred said - what kinds of utlra low mileage GN needs a total restoration.
And what kind of fool would think about painting an entire black car - bright white.
Reminds me of that Mmmm..Mmmm..Mmmm song by The Crash Test Dummies
Where the kid's hair turned from black into bright white because the cars smashed together so hard.
I think someone is just trolling for chuckles.
And if they are not - I still think it a foolish thought.

Don't know about anyone else but if I had a chance to pick up a white GN again I would go for it! I had that chance way back in 89, but because it had a salvage title, the better half wouldn't buy in to it.
I will say this though, that one was done "right". It was in every respect a white GN! Just not factory white.

If you do go the white route, do it right!! That means a body off total strip and paint every nook and cranny!, Oh, and NO white bumper rub strips like I've seen on many white T's. All the trim of course will have to be factory satin black. White bumpers, black rub strips, etc.
