That rocker cover is a thing of beauty! Which minion is that? Dave or Stuart?

Agreed   I think it's Dave. Could be wrong though.

I'd go for BMC green for the engine.  Probably 'should' be black at that age, but I think green would 'lift' it a bit more in the black engine bay.

Or if you wanted a change from standard - how about a mid metallic grey?

 

PS....I have one of the rocker covers available if anyone wants one

I'm thinking the BMC green as well. Classy and retro colour. The SA made engines at the time were a pinkish-red colour to denote a local product. I don't think that would look right in here though. I like the sound of that grey - understated and clean.

 

If I could afford a second one, I'd take it

To keep myself occupied in this week, I thought I'd redo the jack for the car. How it started :

And, the big news - I got a replacement bonnet for the car, this time in fibreglass. Really excellent product. Thank you Mr Shadwell! :

 

 

 

It needs a lip to be put on and the hinge mount plates, but other than that, it's perfect. Fits really nicely on the car - much better than the previous one.

Finally, another big step taken today. The dash panels went from primer, to this :

 

 

Which then, became this :

 

 

 

So happy with that
