    Hinges are looking good if not a little invasive. Always a compromise.

    Colour is something that is personal for sure and generally I'm a fan of greens. But you need to be careful what you use. Modern colours rarely look right on older cars. Also be mindful of what front end panels you are using. I can't remember what nose you are using but if it's WB Stato for instance a lot of greens won't sit right (in my eyes anyway). Good luck with your choice and well done on the progress.

    Thanks Innuendo and Big Rob, I am using a full WB series 2 caprice front end for this and your comments have given me a different picture on this. I will keep the front in mind when picking the final colour, cheers
