At least if I do that I don't have to worry about "bio-hazard" on the inside of the car.....

 

Hmmmm......I'll keep the photo in the file anyway.

 

The 67 Cooper S is in my garage now, home and safe!

 

Episode 13 should be out soon.....

I hope this doesn't take as long as Binky is!

 

Got the old lump out today and found a nice surprise...a factory installed oil temp gauge.....I've never seen the extra boss like this one has before.

 

The boss it threads into is part of the drop gears housing, has to be a factory casting unless someone welded it on there. I'll know more when I split the engine off the transmission case and get a better look at it.....

 

Several, actually....but I appreciate all the input! A friend has sent me to House of Kolor to look at paints that have a lot of pop and sparkle, as well as color saturation. I'm also impressed with some of Mazda's and Ford's paints lately, just looking at cars I find in parking lots.

Still don't know where to start, but that's a long ways off. What I do know is that I don't want the same thing I see at all the Mini gatherings, this car will be different enough under the skin that I want the paint to stand out too - nothing weird, but something bright and eye catching.

Who knows, I may just wind up painting it Chili red with a white roof!
