On a separate note I found this image of a dark blue 145 exactly same shade as mine was. If you blow the image up you will see that it is a very distinct blue - slightly lighter than navy, but does look navy in certain light. Will be satisfying getting the small things done so that it is drivable before embarking on the full restoration. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=...r4kDegUIARDwAQ

Favourite phrase, ‘it’ll come in handy someday” I’ve just finished clearing all the crap and detritus out of the garage that I’d collected over the years ‘just in case’,😀😀 Cheers Steve |

Thanks for the link to the blue 145, and yes I’d agree it does look a bit more ‘blue’ than a midnight blue, plenty of time to decide, got to repair it first😀 Yes, hopefully if I can get things working and running properly it does 2 things, identifies items I need to source as replacements, and also saves bolting things in that don’t work. There’d be nothing more gutting, than putting something in a freshly painted shell and scratching the paint when it didn’t work and needed changing. Cheers Steve |

No need to worry, the clearing out was mainly off cuts of timber, electrical and plumbing stuff that I’ve accumulated over the years. All tooling or difficult to find car stuff were squirrelled away upstairs indoors, that she doesn’t know about…. Yet😀😀

A clear out of genuine crap can be cathartic to a hoarder!🧐
