What colour do I paint my car?

I believe the car was originally manly tan, but kinda unsure I want that colour. Is coral red anything like manly tan?

Chris

I have a photocopy of a paint chart, which indicates all the colours and formulars.

I am looking for a colour chart as well.

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I think i've had it 15 years. If not 15 then close to it. Copped a bit of shit on occasion from people saying if I wasnt using it I should give it to someone who will. Screw them.

At this stage I dont think your case will go in. Its a 1960 and would like to get a 56 if possible. I've got a 58 from andrew rankin (also many years ago), one from jeff 2313863(59?), 2 from George Chris 1560?30 and -1-085351 Whichever one is closest and in best condition case wise will go in. Your tinware and other peripherals is easily the best, so will use them. All the numbers arent going to match so it isnt crucial to me, but would like to get close as possible without being extreme.

Just bought a set of rod bearings for A$45 on ebay. Hope I have a 10thou under crank.

It still wont be on road anytime soon. Maybe 2008 probably later, definitely not before.
