Re: Project BFR (1973 Mimosa Sprint)
Well I've finished rebuilding the engine & it's all ready to mate up to the gearbox. I've got a couple of bits that I can polish but that's about as far as I can go until BFR is back from the Sprayer's.

Re: Project BFR (1973 Mimosa Sprint)
Things have been a bit slow lately but I went down to see BFR yesterday morning. A fair few hours have gone into it although it doesn't look much. Should be in primer next week.

At last, some real progress. It's taken a while but BFR is now wearing primer. 
Paul, no the inside won't be sprayed.

Re: Project BFR (1973 Mimosa Sprint)
A couple of questions for the anoraks out there 
Should a '73 Sprint have a mirror on the driver's door, if so chrome or black? Should the inner wheel arches (behind the suspension) be body colour or black?

I'm pretty sure it is a chrome mirror for that age along with body coloured arches.
