Hallo Rick,
Well, I don't think to keep it that grey, its looking like an German second world war tank!
I'm thinking about a dark Bordeaux, somthing near this colour, http://www.londonweddingcar.com/2011/03/23/the-royal-rolls-royce-wedding-cars/
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Jonathan |

Hallo,
I succeeded in taking thermostat housing take off. Can anyone identify this thermostat? He is also used in other cars? I have not seen the new Austin Devon ...

A friend of mine has done his Morris traveller that colour or a similar shade of burgundy and it looks great. I stripped the paint on my brake fluid bottle on my Rover a few years back and the paint has stayed on and still looks good so if its cleaned well and all traces of brake fluid removed it shold be ok, keep up the good work and keep posting updates.
