     Hey Bitzer, I really like the color choice, What is the exact color ?  Sometimes it looks orange, and sometimes it looks yellow depending on the lighting.  I like that.
     It is coming together nicely, you gotta be happy and excited to get it all together.

If you are mentioning runs that must mean you got one little tiny one somewhere??

Orange is hard to take pictures of under lights. I know, I had trouble taking a picture to show what color mine actually is. Just about every picture is different. The good thing about struggling with taking pictures of a color like that is they usually look better in person. It looks good to me in those pictures so I bet it is awesome in person.

Cheers all. I don't know the paint code I literally picked it from a bookchart of colours - I WANT THAT ONE, and they mixed it on the spot! That was a fair while ago, needless to say I lost the paper receipt.

It's a difficult colour to explain as I have no idea, if any original cars were painted in it. Closest would be the european RS Focus but I'm sure it's pearl mines just 2k.
 
The camera must be kind hahaha it's got more runs than the Aussie cricket team. Flat + polish will get em.

Hopin to do the big start up on the 28th but havin grief shimming the starter!!

More soon guys

I think it gives it a clean look There was so much tar/sealer splashed everywhere I had it blasted so the colour choice was easy :)
