I didn't need more car work....

[Argabarga]

All done!



Can't tell anything was ever wrong? Can ya? (At least I hope)




The only thing I need to do is epoxy the "CAMARO" emblem back onto the new fender, was going to do that today, but then it started raining on me. Oh well, tomorrow's a new day.

It is if you have a '69 MGB GT in the garage 40 years old, and I can still get most of what I need within 2 days shipping time.

Dude you have the same car as my mom! Though I doubt you picked the same terrible yellow paint (at least she loves it).

[Argabarga]

Do you mean that kinda-cream yellow? Like, the color that an old dog bone or newspaper turns? If so, my Aunt has one too and she DID pick that horrid yellow color....

[Solumina]

Its more of a yellowish-orangeish color...ctually it is pretty close to the color of a dried bit of mango.

And a 1987 is NOT old for a car!

Being the new owner of an '87 Volvo, I beg to differ.

But that may be the bitterness of an empty bank account courtosy of the garage talking.


The After pics are very cool. ^^

Nope, I kept the original 'burnt orange.' I felt that the car would look weird if I had it repainted. Plus, there are enough red/green/blue/black MGBs already Seriously though, the orange I went with, isn't 100% 'correct,' but it looks original, and suits the car well. BL used some strange shades (what the hell were they smoking?) in the late 1960s and early '70s. But, one shade I *can't* stand, is the mustard yellow that came on 1970-72 cars. Trust me, it's nasty. Sadly though, many of the more interesting colors, usually aren't seen at shows. By that, I mean the Mirage (lavender), the Black Tulip (purple), the grays, aren't seen very often--restorers tend to paint the cars in more "fashionable" colors.

It is kinda funny though--for years, we had the only orange GT at shows. Apparently, someone else saw it at the 'garage,' and now there are at least two more--another GT, and a Midget. I have a feeling that the car shows this summer will be interesting

Argabarga, the car looks great! You can't even tell it was wrecked

[Argabarga]

Woah, lavender was a factory color? That's, crazy enough that I wholeheartedly endorse it!

Yep, 'Mirage' was only available in 1974...which is probably why it's not often seen at shows.

Very well done, Arga.

What a beautiful job!

?.. And a 1987 is NOT old for a car!

Agreed! My car is a 1986. I drive it every day. 190,000 trouble-free miles on the odo.
