Pleased your not selling it now mate.Youve done plenty of work on it,it would be a shame.That rocker cover looks cock on too!

Cheers mate! Nah, I have seen sense and I'm keeping her :)

I'm thinking about colour changes at the moment, I like the idea of keeping the engine bay red and repainting the cups to match, so I need ideas on colours that work with red as a contrast, preferably a metallic :)

I would like to find a fairly original colour if i can, so white and black are out of the running. I have plenty of time to choose as I intend to finish repainting the remaining sill wings and doors red first, drive it round for the summer an repaint it next winter :)

It's one of the colours I am contemplating! I like the idea of a bronze :)

Haha, I don't like that at all lol! I think I will be looking for a colour a bit more earthy than that. Plus its to similar to red to be able to pull it off in the engine bay!

Don't ever get paint from Hellfords...cause when your half way through a job and you have to wait for a delivery the next batch are always a shade different...eg Painting 3 wheels Ford Diamond white...the 4th came out cream!  :angry:

Just got to a spray shop or if you can afford to do that use matt black  :grin:
