Don't worry chaps, it will be getting painted properly (ie, not by me!)
Just struggling to decide on a colour, got it down to two choices at the minute. Either the colour it was which is a bit lighter than Damask red, or a nice deep non metallic gloss black.

Red! I think black may be a little plain.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I used to own a Damask red Mini, so I'm now going to actually speak from experience rather than as usual just being an obnoxious opinionated cunt.
Damask red I thinking bloody crap. Even when I had a new front on the car and blew it in with fresh paint it was still crap. Even when polished to death it somehow looked dull, usually the chrome lifts a colour but oh no not good old Damask!
Maybe a modern take on it however could work if you wanted to keep some link back to it's original shade, such as Rover Nightfire red or Peugeot Diablo red?

I was gonna say maybe not its original shade but a nice dark red... but not black! I shall never have a black car again! Black hides curves and details and is too boring

I know what you mean but I think some metallic blacks look fantastic.

Nick if the bodywork is good enough (looks to be) what about BMW Carbon black or Ruby black?

Both are black (duuuurrrrrrr), Carbon has a blue tinge in bright sunlight, Ruby is red tinge.

If you're thinking of black you can't go to far wrong with the VW black that they used on the MK4 Golfs.
My MK4 is 12 years old now and still looking stunning when polished up.

I'm not sure I really want anything fancy and flippy etc, I just want something discreet that doesn't stand out too much.
There's loads of time till I need to think about paint anyway so I'm sure I'll change my mind lots by then.

Bit more done this weekend though.

Got the steering boss welded on and pedal box mounted. Also got some tyres thrown my new wheels so I can see how they'll sit.

S14 dog knob purple pmsl!! Know exactly what you mean...

Liking how it sits on the new wheels.. are they slightly narrower to the wellers? They seam to look better in the special arches than the wellers

Yeah they're still 6" wide but less offset so hopefully I'll get away with the plastic arches.

Need to trim the lip off the arches on the fibreglass front as its kinda sucked in at the moment, feels like they'll pop back out to a normal shape with the lip removed.
