Default Restore 403 or sacrifice for parts?

Well, I like this enthusiasm. I did a bit to a 401, and that went
North in NSW in Julian's hands and is still a good runner. My
beautiful 406 is now in Victoria and an excellent car. The 405 was
really only second to the Isos in New Zealand. A fantastic charger.
Now the 406 Zagato is close to metal finish in Dubbo. Bas and I were
with the Nugents last week and it looks like they will be finished
in October. The quality is outstanding. Bas has all the mechanicals
done and somewhat as usual, the 110 engine has only done 50,0000
miles and the pistons and gearbox are outstanding. The only thing is
I can't quite swallow the original orange-red paint. Something more
like Mudgee honey over a white plate in mind.
