After the painful phase it was time to choose a new colour. After a lot of toing and froing and looking at many many RR pictures I settled on Silver Sand (light bronze/gold) with Magnolia upholstery, black carpets and a black hood. The engine required new pistons and rings as they had rusted too much plus a couple other items that were broken, all new hoses and belts etc. The cost of the engine rebuild ended up being about 40% of the total cost of the restoration.
