Silvertop in mine. I think the bumpers blend in quite well. If you was to colour code them, I would get rid of all the black on the doors ect too.

Old bolts are always fun! Anything that needs working on - just soak it in wd40 the night before and it should help.

Engine conversions aren't that scary :)

Danny is wrong, they are the scariest thing ever! lol joking but in all fairness i was/am a complete numpty when it comes to mechanics (danny has had it first hand) but its just one of them things. took me 2 years to get the balls to buy everthing, then another year to get started :P still not theere yet but by all means do it! i know it will be worth it :)
