I was just looking your first post to see what the original colour was, seemed to be red, and you wanted to paint it Damask red.

That's not exactly red to me 

Change in mind during the rebuild?

It is still a lovely colour (antilope?) and quite rare on Minis. Looking very smart!!

 

Damask was the first idea indeed, but one of my good friend suggested me this color, they call it Tundra Green. There is lots of red Minis in my homeland, but no Tundra, so I changed my mind. I think it will be pretty elegant with my beige interior

Work In Progress 

 

I've bent the brake and clutch lines after the pedal box and master cylinders installed. Then I lift up the front as much I could and rolled in the front section. It was not that easy alone as you imagine :)
