At the moment it's a 2dr! we're doing all the welding required underneath, then we're chopping it. It's going to be OEW but we haven't decided on the roof colour or interior yet. So watch this space.

At the moment it's in a tasteful shade of red oxide primer

Nooo! We re-wooded Vikki (below) 18 months ago. Everything new from the back of the cab panels etc. Had 12 weeks to do it as we had booked to go on the MOT in France it ended up almost a 24 hours a day job!

We got there though

Woodies are lovely, I have two from which I hope to extract the best parts to form a good one!

But is it me or is it true moggie parts are getting rarer my the minute?!!

I've seen worse that that brought back from the dead. Why make one when you have 2?

Post by **markattard** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 3:50 pm

Knowing me, first I make one..... then I make no.2, It happened already in the past

Mark is the green Aqua or Almond Green. If it's Aqua it's a rare colour.

I would save both!

I have seen a traveller which is garaged in St Pauls Bay and thats in really good condition. I have just bought a 2 door saloon which I hope to take out to Malta, when I retire 3-4 years time.

Mark love the aqua one - well worth saving as it is

Post by **markattard** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 1:41 am

Dont know yet if that is the true original colour, I'll sand a part of the paint and try to find out. Anyone knows the years this colour was on pl?

Humblepie: I bought the grey one from St Paul's bay about 2 yrs ago, but I'm sure there are real good ones around here, one is in a showroom in Zebbug right now, Old English white must be 1964-5 ish but in very nicely restored...

Mark this was back in September and is garaged in SPB. It was blue and had GB in chrome letters on the back door. Steve

Aqua was a 70's colour on minis ;)

Now to polish...

Post by **ASL642** » Sat Nov 01, 2008 10:59 am

Looking good Mark. Is that maroon B?

Post by **markattard** » Sat Nov 01, 2008 11:16 am

close enough....

The exact colour (RD 23 or 8 was it?!) was abolished localy because of the new paint rules. But I'm really happy with this colour, do you like it?

Aqua was used on travellers from June 1970 onwards, with a dark navy interior.
