Been looking at this all day and I just can't live with the non-original colour!! Bit fussy like that, bronze is one of my favorite colours and it not being the correct shade bugs the snot out of me.

I've found some good condition original paint on the inside of the door, I'll take that and get the rest of the paint matched to it.

Repainting is only another 4 hours of work so its not the end of the world.........................DOH!!

Love B's :) really like them in the bronze aswell...mustard i call it

Cant wait to see it all put back together and in proper bronze colour ;)

Looking great though

You're right it is more mustard than orange, maybe a yellow mustard??

Was it celly you used Shifty??

[Shifty]

Yeah, can't spray 2k anymore as the garage is outside my daughters bedroom.

First time I've used it and I quite like it, went on really nicely.

[sonikk4]

It does look good and i would leave it as is.

Seen that one and it is nice!!

i do have a huge problem though!!

I wanted the MG so I could take Baby Shifty out to classic car shows in it, she cries every time she sees it, and won't even look at it!!

If I start it up she runs in the opposite direction!!!

So here starts my dilemma...

I don't want to put a load more time and effort into something that I won't use, when its done its worth about £1800(ish), I've got another £400ish to spend to get to that stage.

I reckon the painted car will fetch about £1100 on ebay, the seats I'll sell separate and should do £300.

That takes me up to the £1800 and I don't have to do any more work..

Hmmmm.......
