So I have got as far as painting everything forward of the door hinges, allowing me to do the final mounting of the guards, etc.

What colour did you end up going with? Looks too orange to be Mandarin?

Just a suggestion.

Fit the doors temporarily (if you did not) when you fit the guards so you can adjust the gap and alignment with the door. I have made this mistake before.

Cheers people!!!
yeah i will fit the doors with bolts to line up the gaps.

code is: 15953 but the guy at the paint shop said it didnt come up. So he cross referenced 1F072.

i think they had the code right, just didnt put enough red in.

1F072 is definitely Mandarin....interesting. I wonder if there wasnt two batches/mixes of it that were slightly different like there was with Ford Blueprint; mixture varied between AU S3 and BA, ended up being almost two completely different colours. Either way fresh paint looks good regardless of colour.

Update-
Sold the 4Spd, got a 5 speed & mated it up to a stock 1.6L Runner that I picked up to get this thing running sooner.
New clutch & bearing, ext housing seal, Motor & box dropped in, tailshaft fitted, cables attached.
Front end lined up, everything tightened.
Extractors heat wrapped, & new exhaust done as far as the diff, that's as far as I have got.
