Harko, is actually a F o r d colour , dont tell anyone , shhh , the base is actually a red colour , the gold pearl over the top , makes it go that orange colour , or any shade between red , gold orange , the more sun you have on it ,you can see through the pearl and get the red base coming through , is very translucent in the sun , totally different colour whether it is in the sun or in the shed .

Have seen the colour you are talking about , after i painted the car , would of been so much easier to paint it something like that , would never do another car with pearl over the top , its like painting the damn thing an extra couple of times all the extra work :thumbsdown: , but in the sun its looks good .

Stewart , am starting to relise that :?

I have never been very good at finishing things off :oops: either , all the little fiddly stuff gives me the poop :lol: , built a boat as a project before the ute ,house, shed all the fidily bits not finished :lol:

Well got the new house sort of sorted out and now it is time to get back into this damn ute :roll: .

Have had a few nights on it this week ,and a couple of days , cleaning bits up and putting them back on , pulled the grille to pieces and gave it a polish , got all the lights front and back working, except for the tail lights :twisted: , must be a problem with the head light switch , will have to pull it out again , and see what is going on .

Starting to run out of wires , so must be winning :thumbsup:

Treated the old girl to a carb of her very own as well , as I have had a borrowed one on it .

Wasnt happy where I made the back bumper fit , so have been hacking into that to get it to sit higher up , ready to be dechromed , panel beated and the FC plate surround welded on , and then rechromed .
