Engine block colour
On the works or DSM cars, any idea what they were?

Thanks folk,
I've seen Black (standard) and Red ones before. Red, IMHO looks dreadful after a year or so. The Ur's rebuilt lump is black again, but with the Wreck, I was thinking of Silver, mainly to ease any fluid loss and component identification... Dog sh-t brown sounds of so tempting (not!)... Gold's a bit bling for a RallyWreck too. VBR Ian

At your stage, Ian, I think Pink will be a good choice.

The Coupe quatts ( 44 XMN and MAN 44A ) blocks were red. But originality isn't the issue here though, so sky blue pink I.I.R.C.
