My progress so far.
Hi, after replacing all the rust with new metal.. wire brushing and sanding the whole body back to bare metal. Found new huge parts of rust near the
pedals on the sub frame. And where the demister and wiper motor is all the water over the years had rusted through and down the side of the boot, was
difficult to get to and repair.

Sooo do you want to look at the colour scala and pick out an actual formulated vehicle colour that may come close to the cats eyes?
The physical scala has thousands of colours, and the library has tens of thousands, and then the actual system has hundreds of thousands. This will
give you an actual numbered formula that you can get made.
