Thanks for the links and advice,

I think I'm going to check the paint code on the car to make sure that I am right it is originally Signal Orange and not then tangerine.

The car is being sprayed by friend of a friend whom works from his own home and produces some amazing results. I've got a little time before I need to buy the paint and make a final decision. I agree Blood Orange is nice but I don't think it was an option for a 71 car. Signal Orange is leading at present but I could really do with seeing one in the flesh, the difference between the pics from Andy's and Ottow?s posts shows how different colours can look in pictures. I'm also a little worried that orange and tan/beige will look a little too much. But then again that?s how it left the factory!!

Decisions, decisions.

PS. Hi Bobby and Marcus I did fix the MFI and I was over the moon about it. After days of cleaning/soaking it literally went click and started to work.
I love MFI (now thats it's fixed).

Oh here a quick pic of the S taken last week. It''s been stripped and etch primed now, also the new front slam panel is in. I've also had all the smaller parts blasted, ready for powder coating/paint, including the wheels. I'm going to polish these this weekend.
