Your moving fast on your car, looks great. Did you replace the area where the windshield washer bottle would be located?
 
NICE color. I like it!
 
Did you get that color from the engineering dept of Waste Management?

That's harsh. He could have taken cue from the <span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="color: #FFCC00">M</span></span> and painted it Brosky Yellow.
 
That is NOT my yellow and it does NOT stand for MIMOSA...the one true and pure color for all TR6's...... :devilgrin:
 
Hopefully he can see the irony in what I said and was only poking fun

I read it that way. Until you pointed it out I didn't notice how close of a color match it appears to be (in that picture, at least).
 
Hi everyone, yes I did replace the area where the washer bottle goes also the color is Conifer Green. When it's done I am going to have the chassis towed over and the body guys are going to help me put the tub on. Does anyone know where I can get a step by step instruction on how to put the tub on the chassis?
 
That part is pretty straightforward, just getting the doors to close right is the big thing, and you do that with shims at the mounting points. I don't know of a step by step guide. Maybe someone who had done several frame-offs can write one up and post on here?
 
Whew....I was worried that Don seeing an irony in painting the car yellow that didn't match mine....that would truly be cause for concern.....
