What's wrong with it?

If he wants Signal Amber, that "looks" a country mile off.
It should look like CheltRS' car, the paint on Alan's looks like '79 Signal Yellow.

The car was Signal Yellow before work started, I thought that's what Alan wanted, not orange????

[alancdavis]

TBH the car had lots of touch ups and some panels were a crap match for others so hence the decide for a full blow over
Signal seems to be the best match for the engine bay as thats the only bit not taken back to bare metal

So long as it looks ok when done ( which I am sure it will ) then I will be happy , if the bottom bit of the engine bay is slightly off then the ammonut of difference will be next to nothing

So roll on the rebuild , , ,
