Welcome to the list Dan. I don't have any info on your paint code
question but I have a question for you. how did you strip the paint? I'm
at that stage and still not sure how to go about.
Thanks

        Good Day,

        I went this weekend to pick up some paint to do my bugeye.  The 
        place I go to (car color in Gilroy, CA) has been very helpful
but
        we were unable to come up with a paint code for "Old English
White"
        (WT-3) that would cross match to a modern code.  Does anyone
have
        this info?  

        Any help would be greatly appreciated,

        Dan(dmullis@adobe.com)

        Since this is my first email to the list,  here is the story
        of the car.  

        Sitting in a far corner of my neighbors yard, under a stack of
        rotting tarps I could see the just enough of the smile to know
        it was a bugeye.  After months of watching it be neglected they
        put their house up for sale.  I walked over and asked,  what
        are you going to do with the Austin? "Why you want it?" was
        her reply.  I gave them $200 and towed it home.  That was early
        March.  I have stripped it to bare metal and primed it.  The 
        biggest issue I have is that some idiot cut a big hole in the 
        bonnet to add ventalation.  I will post pictures on my web site 
        when I get some better progress.  My plan early on was to buy a
        1275 from mini-mania along with a 5-speed.  But after reading
        the conversations lately,  I am leaning toward  going stock 
        and try to rebuild it's 948 which looks to be a major ordeal.  
        Does anyone sell rebuilt 948's?
