Porsche mint green or Porsche jade green.

How about this which I saw at Salbris

Love that car.

Thanks for the input everyone, Russell, I had a mini in Olympic blue, it's nice but a bit too much "in yer face", surf blue is very similar. If I was going for a BMC colour it would be tweed grey. I like dishwater type colours on old 2CV's, but would prefer to keep it a Citroen colour.

Banjo, that's lovely and almost exactly the same as mine will look, hopefully. The colour on that looks exactly like what I have, but they say in the comments under the photo that it is Vert embruns (green sea).. Very confusing. I'm going to paint the underside of the shell tonight with ICI's interpretation of Vert Cactee, and see if I like it. Will post photo's after if I remember.

I wanted to see if my keys would fit but the wife though it wasn't a good idea baa! What the shot doesn't show is the pool of dribble all around it left by me

The underside is painted. First I quickly flatted the primer, and sealed all the seams with wet on wet PU sealant.


Then on with the paint. It's a difficult colour to photograph accurately but it looks something like this. The finish isn't amazing as I didn't spend a huge amount of time on prep seeing as it's just the underside, but I like the colour!

Massey Fergusson grey! a tractor classic


Unbelieveable i watched that Aberdeen D*lly pittying the fool who bought it as it really was beyond it ....but youve risen to the challenge and done one of the truly brilliant restorations.

when you get the mechanical bits gimme a bell and we will make sure it goes as good as it looks.

Agreed,a brilliant job.You have cerainly set the bench mark.(what does that mean)

Just read this thread all the way through. Inspirational! I can't wait to see it finished. Favourite bits so far are the front indicators ... so much better than teh shitty plastic things originally fitted.

when you make something over and over its usefull to have the marks transposed to the worksurface as then (before the onset of CAD) you had consistency and accuracy the mark on the bench being the definitive and correct one.No chance of error transcribing measurements from the blueprint.

my steel topped bench has notches in it indicating the various lengths of Cupronickel pipe for oil lines.
