FK5 is burnt orange metallic - the same as the engine bay on page 1.

Sorry, should have said that in previous mail.

Well, I only know my own - EW1 (much easier to just say "white"). I worked out what FK5 was though from the pictures.

Very very nice GTX. I have seen it in the flesh and it looks / sounds lovely jubbly.

Yes Clivey thats me standing there having a break, everybody was standing around drinking beer + talking, i was the only one doing any work. I stripped driver side quarter both doors & started both wings, i'll carry on doing it today as we are hoping to get it painted for Brooklands.

Fingers crossed it gets done Paul. Thats reason enough to go to brookie, just to see that GTX there. Seen the others, but a new one will be nice, there anint enough 70 stuff about and a BO GTX would be great.

Jim, I haven't yet managed to find a pic of yours from back in the day, but for inspiration, here's an FK5 example I snapped at last year's USA Nats. Has the FK5 interior like yours too...

I'm still not sure whether to put White reflective stripes back on it or statin Black, should have the White but I hated them it will be having the Black on the hood and back panel.

I like to have an audience, anyway they were just waiting for me to hurt myself.
