Mick.

Looks trick Mick,
What colour is it going to be? Is it a road car? It will sure turn a few heads with the arches. And are you doing it all yourself?

Rhys

G'day Rhys,
I will do most of the work myself, though have got plenty of help from info on the forum, and also parts from Ty, Maxrs and DannyM. The paint will be done by my best friends misses, as she is a spray painter by trade. The car will be registered, but will be used for hillclimbs, track days e.t.c

Colour? I was going to paint it Raw Orange (The colour of the bonnet in the "Front Guard" photo), but have also seen a Gun Metal Grey that is on the new Mini's which looks fantastic...similar to this!
