I finally got my car back from the painter. I will attach at photo. Its new Mini, Chili Red. I very nice blood red. I should have the fenders and doors shortly. The painter is finishing them up. I'm doing a ground up restoration, and this winter replaced both sills (complete) and floor pans. I can't wait to start putting it back together.

Yes I can't wait to start putting it all together. I think I've decided to do the engine bay and install the engine before I hang the fenders to save on scratches.

Last night I talked my wife in to letting me store the fenders, bonnet, trunk, etc. in the living room! Isn't she sweet! lol!
 
I got the fenders today from the paint man. Of course I had to hang them on the B to check them out! That's my old grille, I have a new chrome one for when the time comes and a new old speckled hen badge too!
