Plan A is to find replacement hood and fender, get them sprayed (along with the bumper and original Carrera tail). Bolt on, drive again.
Plan B would be more in depth restoration. Got some rocker panel rust that needs to be addressed by a pro. Have that done + full respray. Regarding color, years ago I would have gone for black. The older I get the more attached I've become to the original beige so 99.9% chance I just stay with that.

Sux.
Plan A .. quicker, cheaper, and given your OCD, you wont have to worry about getting that first nick in the paint if you dont get it resprayed

If there's any electrical re-wiring needed, I can recommend someone.
