Green does seem to be the colour for 2012 - orange must be so 2011
It's looking very nice!

Looks great. How did you prep the underbody? I take it this type of work is something you're familiar with

i had the car on my rotisserie did all the mods first then got it blasted and refinished it the same as i did the body yes im a spraypainter by trade so its pretty straight forward work to me although i did this all in my garage not at a workshop so it took a bit more effort to keep the paintwork clean

so i got it home to do some more bits and pieces im changing the oil pump as i originally fitted a burton one and after reading on here and other sites that they are a problem i thought it was a good idea to change to my melling one also fitted a boot battery tray and have just ordered my door trims and rear seat covers from aldridge trimming in the uk so theyre next to do got the radiator sorted electric fan fuel pump malpasi regulator and brake bleeding all sorted, in the process of fitting a twin accelerator cable setup the oil line to the guage, so slowly its coming together ,,no rush
although i would like to get it running but work commitments take up a lot of my time.
