[Mgs] (no subject)

Hi Rick.
Thanks for the free advise. I've already ordered the trim and some rubber pieces. Even the union jack badges, since the ones on the car are fadded. New chrome stripping, too.
I'm my own body work man, so I'm not worried about imperfections in the car surface. But I'm not looking forward to doing a paint color match so I can do the sills and trunk and engine compartment.
Actually, I am going to take it to Macco. I wonder if they have a white close enough?

Greeting -0-list.
I'm prepping the 74.5 mgb before taking it to "affordable" p
Some suggestions:
(snip)
Don't do the colour change - it will make your cheaper paint job be more obvious 
- pay them the difference to match the stock colour if one off of the wall is not an exact match - 
Get a GB oval plate for the back - It looks sooooo British and balances off the 
gas cap so well. Consider those little metal Union Jack badges that screw to the 
car - put them below the chrome strip just ahead of each door. Details sell.

My take - free advise is worth every penny you spend on it!

Best,
