Thinking Paint

Fiesta Colors
While there is still loads to do on the car, I am at a point where I have to think about the body and paint. I am thinking of stripping the car entirely of parts, engine, interior and glass and readying it for rust repair and paint. I've sourced body panel patches out of Germany, and they are not too expensive. That will need to be handed over to a proper body shop for the work. I really like the color of Betty, and wouldn't dream of changing it. My search revealed the following paint codes from a paint website. 

Parts Order from the UK

 Since some basic parts for the Fiesta are no longer available in the US, I've been searching the interwebs looking for parts.  One of those is a stock throttle cable.  I found this in the UK at BurtonPower.com.  I am hoping that there is no difference between the L/R hand drive cables lengths...We shall see. The price is reasonable at  L11.78, So I took a chance.  Should only take a couple days to get the order.
