Cheers Chaps, feeling better about it already, I actually felt guilty parting with her for some reason, perhaps its the result of the tons of hours spent and just how much work was done.
Anyway, I do like having my Garage back for other things, I'm off out to give the Merc an oil change in a minute and for once I won't get wet while doing a bit.
John, I got engine mount conversion plates for the front subframe as I'm a lazy so and so and don't want to swap it out being ok.

I'm not sure the forum could take another orange car, it might explode!

When I were nowt but a lad in the late 60s and early 70s, a proper Mini had to have orange paint with black roof and bonnet. It also needed a length of rubber conveyor belt across the back instead of mudflaps!
There again, the Lamborghinis I knew were all white...

Yeah, I don't think I can compete with the amazing orangeyness of robs car though.
Rich, I recently did a Moto Guzzi in a Nissan red, was pretty close to the original colour too, quite a nice shade but red minis have been done to death now.

Orange FTW!!
There was this rather lovely Marina at the BL show last weekend
Sorry to hear Rusty has gone to a new home, it's best not to grieve, but to enjoy what you have now. You did it for a reason, so have fun
